Women and blood clots: Are we missing the warning signs?
Women can face unique blood clot risks across different stages of life, from hormonal contraception and pregnancy to the postpartum period and menopause. But there are still gaps in recognition and diganosis. In a special World Thrombosis Day episode of the ISTH Pulse Podcast, host Dr. Geoffrey Barnes is joined by experts Dr. James Douketis and Dr. Angela Weyand to ask an important question: Are we missing the warning signs? Together, they discuss where progress has been made, where gaps remain and what healthcare professionals can do to better recognize and address thrombosis risks in women. The conversation also explores broader challenges in women’s health, opportunities to improve research and clinical care and why this topic is at the center of the World Thrombosis Day campaign.

FF Miniseries Episode 3
In episode 3 of this ISTH Pulse Podcast miniseries, experts explore why next-generation mimetic therapies may be needed in hemophilia A and what they could add to an already evolving treatment landscape. The discussion examines how well current prophylactic options control bleeding, where treatment burden and unmet needs remain and whether less-frequent, subcutaneous dosing could support greater treatment convenience, adherence and access. Our experts also considers how factor VIII inhibitor status may influence treatment decisions and which patients could potentially benefit most as new mimetic therapies continue to develop.
This episode is supported by an independent medical education grant from Bayer.
