The North American Thrombosis Forum’s (NATF) mission is to focus on unmet needs and issues related to thrombosis and cardiovascular disease such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, and stroke. NATF’s five areas of major focus are:
  • Clinical research, focusing on diagnosis and therapy
  • Basic translational research
  • Prevention and Education
  • Public Policy
  • Advocacy

Our vision is to improve patient care, outcomes, and public health by utilizing a multidisciplinary approach to advance thrombosis research and education. NATF programs encourage collaboration among translational researcher, clinical researchers, healthcare professionals, policy makers and patients.
