Primary Prevention

The primary prevention of antiphospholipid syndrome is as follows:

• Anticoagulation in patients with risk factors for arterial and venous thrombosis.
• Minimizing the contribution of reversible risk factors for recurrent thrombosis.
• A daily low dose of aspirin for primary thrombosis prevention in asymptomatic individuals with persistent antiphospholipid antibodies.
