Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a common clinical syndrome characterized by high morbidity and frequent hospitalizations. HF is an independent and major risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and VTE occurring in patients with HF carries a worse prognosis. The present review will focus on short and long term role of anti-coagulants in prevention of venous thrombosis in HF patients. We will also be discussing the recently investigated and patented anti-coagulants which could have a role in this specific population.
