Von Willebrand disease (VWD), the most common inherited bleeding disorder, is caused by a deficiency in or dysfunction of von Willebrand factor (VWF),and results in disrupted hemostasis. VWD affects approximately 1% of individuals and can cause a myriad of symptoms, ranging from mucocutaneous bleeding in patients who are mildly affected to gastrointestinal bleeding and joint arthropathy in patients with severe disease. Despite its relatively high prevalence, early diagnosis and effective treatment of VWD have been challenging due to a need for education that contextualizes recently published, multidisciplinary guidelines and provides strategies for incorporating them into practice, including showcasing the role of prophylaxis in patients with severe VWD to prevent significant bleeding and arthropathy.
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Accurately diagnose VWD based on clinical assessments and laboratory tests.
- Individualize the management of VWD.
- Evaluate the evidence for long-term prophylaxis in patients with VWD.
