D-Dimer: Appropriate Use and Interpretation for Optimal Patient Outcomes
Insights for Enhanced Patient Care and Diagnosis
Uncover the critical role of D-dimer testing in ruling out thrombotic conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). This webinar highlights the test’s strengths, limitations, and its essential function in improving diagnostic efficiency—especially in low-resource, urgent care, and rural settings.
Key Learning Objectives:
-
Decoding D-Dimer: Understand what D-dimer measures, how it's produced during clot breakdown, and why elevated levels don’t always indicate a thrombotic event.
-
Rule-Out Testing in Action: Learn how D-dimer serves as an effective exclusionary test, helping clinicians quickly rule out conditions like DVT and PE in low-to-intermediate risk patients.
-
Interpreting Results with Confidence: Explore common causes of false positives, the impact of age and comorbidities, and how to apply clinical context for accurate interpretation.
This webinar seeks to broaden your understanding of NT-proBNP and its key role in cardiovascular healthcare.
