Overview
The choice and duration of antiplatelet therapy in NSTE-ACS undergoing PCI is complex and is a hotly debated topic – particularly amongst patients at high bleeding risk. To gain insight into the real-world practices of a global cross-section of cardiologists, Radcliffe Medical Education, in partnership with the International Society of Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy (ISCP), undertook a novel crowdsourcing project to capture their prevailing beliefs and practices in antiplatelet treatment, in patients at high bleeding risk.
We reported our findings in a paper recently published in the International Journal of Cardiology and are delighted to now bring you a roundtable discussion, featuring members of the steering committee, to further explain the project, the main findings, and the potential implications for future research.

Agenda
Key Learning Objectives
- Describe current guideline-led recommendations for the use and duration of dual antiplatelet therapy in NSTE-ACS patients at high bleeding risk
- Explain how alternative antiplatelet strategies differ to those advocated in current international guidelines for high bleeding risk individuals
- Recall how practice varied in prescribers who took part in the crowdsourcing project
- Describe how a crowdsourcing methodology may have potential implications for future research
Research Data Gathered From
- 559 respondents
- 70 countries
- Specialisms included interventional cardiologists, non-invasive cardiologists and other prescribers
- Physician representation from state and public hospitals, private hospitals, university and teaching hospitals plus research institutes
