We motivate patients to take control of their own oral anticoagulation therapy
More than 4.000.000 patients in Europe are living on long-term oral anticoagulation. ISMAAP activities are focussed around these anticoagulated patients to offer them a better quality of life.
This web site contains comprehensive information about this subject, as well as information about living with lifelong anticoagulation.
In the name of the authors, we would like to thank you for taking interest in these subjects. Managing Board of the ISMAAP, Geneva.
"Active, informed patients are natural partner in managing anticoagulation therapy efficiently"
