Educational Events
The goal of the North American Thrombosis Forum (NATF) is to focus on unmet needs and issues related to thrombosis and cardiovascular diseases such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), myocardial infarction, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, atrial fibrillation and stroke prevention. NATF achieves this goal by developing educational programs that provide healthcare professionals, patients and the general public with the most up-to-date information and developmental research on thrombosis and cardiovascular disease.
