HI-PRO: Extended Apixaban Lowers VTE Recurrence

In this episode, Dr. Austin Rupp and I try to answer the following questions:

• Should patients with provoked VTE be offered long term anticoagulation if they have persistent risk factors, like obesity? 
• Does coffee make atrial fibrillation worse (or better??)? 
• Is age-adjusted d-dimer safe to use in DVT? 
• Should we prescribe beta blockers after acute MI if the EF is normal?
• Does fish oil improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients on dialysis?
• What's the best approach for dialysis in patients with acute kidney injury?
