As a medical student I, along with my classmates, learned the coagulation cascade. Later, in 1968 when I passed my internal medicine boards and was on my way to becoming a cardiologist, I thought that was the last I had to remember that complicated series of events and the drugs used to alter coagulation. Little did I know at that time how important coagulation and anti‐coagulation would become for cardiovascular patients. Copyright © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
