Overview

In this on-demand version of the live broadcast, Radcliffe Medical Education bring together an expert panel to address the importance of providing individualised antithrombotic treatment in Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and Chronic Coronary Syndrome (CCS). 

 

Chaired by Prof Marco Valgimigli (Instituto Cardiocentro Ticino, Lugano, CH), the panel review the two patient cases presented in phase one of this programme, present impactful new trial data, and discuss practical solutions to common challenges experienced in real-world practice.

 

Further, the faculty review and summarise the new recommendations for antithrombotic treatment strategies in ACS and CCS patients with established coronary artery disease (CAD) made in the 2022 joint clinical consensus statement of the European Association of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (EAPCI), Association for Acute Cardiovascular Care (ACVC) and European Association of Preventive Cardiology (EAPC).

 

Note, the live version of this broadcast was CME accredited; this on-demand version is not.
 

This programme is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from AstraZeneca.
