What is an indication for apixaban?

A. Treatment for acute myocardial infarction: Apixaban is an oral anticoagulant used to prevent clot formation. It is not indicated as a primary treatment for acute myocardial infarction, although it may be used in certain patients with atrial fibrillation or thromboembolic risk. B. Prevention of pulmonary embolism: Apixaban is indicated for the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism, including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. It inhibits factor Xa, reducing the formation of blood clots in high-risk patients. C. Treatment for chronic hypertension: Apixaban does not lower blood pressure and is not used to treat hypertension. Its anticoagulant effect targets clotting pathways rather than vascular resistance. D. Prevention of renal failure: Apixaban has no direct effect on kidney function and is not used to prevent renal failure. Its role is limited to anticoagulation and reducing thromboembolic events.
