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 fourth, and final, broadcast in this series, focused on Stroke Prevention. In this on-demand version of the live broadcast, Radcliffe Medical Education bring together a global faculty of experts in the field to look at current guidance, the landmark data, gaps in evidence and seek to provide practical guidance.

 

Prof Clay Johnston (Harbor Health, Texas, US) chairs the proceedings, and is joined by Prof Philippe Gabriel Steg (Hospital Bichat-Claude Bernard, Paris, FR), Dr Shelagh Coutts (University of Calgary, CA) and Prof Jesse Dawson (University of Glasgow, UK) for a series of insightful presentations and discussions.

This broadcast series is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from AstraZeneca.

Key Learning Objectives

  • Recall recent trial data for antiplatelet therapies in secondary stroke prevention
  • Apply clinical judgement and trial data to develop optimal antiplatelet strategies in noncardioembolic stroke and TIA
  • Use guidance and recent trial data to formulate optimal antiplatelet strategies in large artery atherosclerosis
  • Confidently prescribe potent antiplatelet therapies by balancing ischaemic and bleeding risk

Target Audience

  • Neurologists
  • General Cardiologists
  • Interventional Cardiologists
