Researcher hoping to find new and better anticoagulant

Following frequent questions about anticoagulants I thought this might be interesting.

Very interesting. This could lead to an anti-coagulant that is clearly superior to both warfarin and the NOACs in terms of preventing clots but also preventing bleeding.

Thanks for that. It will be interesting to see the results later this year.

Interesting post

That's excellent. There's another that Cambridge University is further down the line researching, called ichorcumab. I bet we get neither in Wales lol.

Reading this, it is talking about the interaction with platelots which is how aspirin works and so is this going to be of not much use to AF suffers?

[Buffafly in reply to Alan_G]

Aspirin causes bleeding but as I understand it they are seeking the holy grail of anticoagulation without the danger of inappropriate bleeding.

Wow! It would be amazing if they could develop an anticoagulant without a bleed risk! Imagine the lives it could save.
