THE CASE FOR FOCUSING ON BLEEDING
• It is common
• It is expensive
• Patients remember bleeding events more than asymptomatic enzyme leaks
• It is associated with increased mortality

THE CASE FOR FOCUSING ON BLEEDING
• It is common

• Strategies that prevent or reduce bleeding may reduce mortality
• Minimizing bleeding should be an essential part of modern therapy of CAD
