Sant Cugat del Vallès (Barcelona) Boehringer Ingelheim and ESTEVE have reached an agreement after their first experience in respiratory care (undertaken with the same purpose and in the same year) whereby they enter into a joint promotion to share their commitment to improving the lives of patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) at risk of suffering a stroke.
