Overview

This broadcast series 'Where Do Potent P2Y12 Inhibitors Fit Into Current Practice?' will reappraise potent P2Y12 inhibitors, as evidence accumulates to support their broader use. At this juncture, there is still some uncertainty around patient selection, initiation and long-term management.

 

The first broadcast in this series, focused on Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). In this on-demand version of the live broadcast, Radcliffe Medical Education brings together a global faculty of experts in the field to look at current guidance, the landmark data, gaps in evidence and seeks to provide practical guidance.

 

Prof Rob Storey (Sheffield University, UK) moderates proceedings, and is joined by Prof Roxana Mehran (Mount Sinai Hospital, US), Prof Dominick Angiolillo (University of Florida College of Medicine-Jacksonville, US) and Prof Kurt Huber (Clinic Ottakring, AT) for a series of insightful presentations and discussions.

Key Learning Objectives

  • Recall current unmet needs in ACS
  • Summarise current use of antiplatelet therapy in ACS according to guidelines
  • Describe the mode of action of potent P2Y12 inhibitors
  • Identify settings where a potent P2Y12 inhibitor should be used in favour of clopidogrel
  • Summarise the results of head-to-head trials between clopidogrel and potent P2Y12 inhibitors
  • Select appropriate assessment criteria for ischaemic risk and bleeding risk
  • Identify patients in whom a medical therapy only approach could be used over invasive strategies
  • Use antiplatelet therapy effectively and safely for long-term management of ACS

Target Audience

  • General Cardiologists
  • Interventional Cardiologists
  • Nurses and any other allied HCPs
