Overview
This live roundtable, chaired by Prof Marco Valgimigli (Cardiocentro Ticino Institute, Lugano, CH), will demonstrate how to prioritise bleeding and ischaemic risks in coronary arterial disease (CAD) management. Join key opinion leaders Prof Diana Gorog (University of Hertfordshire, UK), Prof Felicita Andreotti (Gemelli University Hospital, Rome, IT) and Prof Eliano Navarese (University of Sassari, Sardinia Island, IT) to uncover expert insights on optimal anti-thrombotic strategies for complex patients as we bridge the gaps in current understanding.
This dynamic session will feature up to three compelling patient case studies, offering real-world scenarios that bring the discussion to life. Gain invaluable knowledge from thought leaders, unravel the complexities of risk balancing, and leave with a deeper understanding of optimal anti-thrombotic approaches.
Secure your spot today and reshape the way you approach patient care.

Agenda
Key Learning Objectives
- Recall current rates of inappropriate antiplatelet dosing in CAD patients
- Identify clinical risk factors associated with enhanced ischaemic or bleeding risk in CAD
- Select evidence-based antiplatelet regimens for complex patients including those at high bleeding risk and high ischaemic risk
- Provide appropriate education to patients that addresses factors leading to premature discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy
- Individualise antiplatelet treatment taking into account clinical risk and patient lifestyle, limitations and preference
Target Audience
- Cardiologists
- Interventional Cardiologists
- Primary Care Physicians
- Nurses, Pharmacists
- Other Allied HCPs
Faculty Biographies
Felicita Andreotti
Prof Felicita Andreotti is a tenured Professor and Medical Director at the Gemelli IRCCS Hospital and Catholic University in Rome, Italy, where she currently coordinates cardiovascular research within the Scientific Directorate.
Prof Andreotti gained her MD and two specialties - in respiratory and cardiac diseases - from the University of Strasbourg, France, and then Pisa, Italy. During her PhD work in Leiden, NL, and a Lectureship in London, UK, she investigated the fibrinolytic/haemostatic system in health and disease, with funding from the British and Dutch Heart Foundations.
Prof Andreotti has contributed to 20 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) clinical practice guidelines or position papers, chaired the ESC working group on Thrombosis, and coordinated multicenter studies funded by the Italian Ministry of Research. She has authored over 300 articles in peer-reviewed journals, including N Engl J Med, JAMA, Lancet and Brit Med J.
Diana Gorog
Prof Diana Gorog holds academic appointments at the University of Hertfordshire and at the National Heart and Lung Institute of Imperial College, London, and is a full-time interventional consultant cardiologist at East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, UK.
Prof Gorog graduated in Medicine from St. Bartholomew’s Medical School, University of London in1993 and undertook clinical training in major London teaching hospitals. She obtained both a postgraduate clinical research MD from the University of London Postgraduate Medical School, and a British Heart Foundation Fellowship in laboratory-based cardiac research at St Thomas’s/King’s College leading to a PhD, following which she returned to clinical cardiology to complete higher training in interventional cardiology.
She sees patients with all types of heart disease, including angina, hypertension, arrhythmias, heart failure and valvular heart disease. She undertakes coronary angiography and angioplasty, including complex coronary intervention. She is actively engaged in research, with a special interest in thrombosis and coronary angioplasty, preventing MI in at-risk patients.
Prof Gorog is on the Editorial Board of European Cardiology Review.
Marco Valgimigli
Prof Marco Valgimigli is an Interventional Cardiologist and Deputy Chief of Cardiology at the Cardiocentro Ticino Institute in Lugano, Switzerland.
He obtained his medical degree from the University of Bologna, and completed his training in internal medicine at the same university. He received a degree in cardiological sciences at the University of Ferrara and a PhD in interventional cardiology at Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam.
Prof Valgimigli’s areas of research are wide ranging and include high-risk percutaneous interventions (PCI); invasive treatment of myocardial ischaemia (MI); reparative medicine with adult stem cells during MI and heart failure; antithrombotic therapy during and after PCI; and prognostic stratification during acute coronary syndromes and MI.
Eliano Navarese
Prof Eliano Navarese is an Interventional Cardiologist, Associate Professor and Head of Clinical and Experimental Cardiology at the University of Sassari, Sardinia Island in Italy.
His expertise is in the fields of interventional cardiology, coronary artery disease, antithrombotics, lipid-lowering therapies, cardiovascular pharmacotherapy, clinical trials and evidence-based medicine.
