Thrombozytenagrregationshemmer


Explanation:
Hi,

Since this all about medications at discharge, the line means "no long-term medication, no platelet aggregation inhibitors and no oral anticoagulants".

Best regards,
Dieter

Platelet aggregation inhibitors


Explanation:

TZH Trombozytenaggregationshemmer
https://quizlet.com/de/karteikarten/klinische-medizin-693540...

I wasn’t able to find any other references for this.

TAH seems to be a more common abbreviation of Trombozytenaggregationshemmer

OAK likely stands for “orale Antikoagulation"
