Prevención secundaria de la trombosis en pacientes con síndrome antifosfolípido

Antiphospholipid syndrome is very heterogeneous and is therefore of interest to various medical specialties. The neurologist will see it in cases of ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Retrospective clinical series suggest that treatment with high levels of anticoagulants (INR of 3 to 4.5), rather tha...
