Content: This review summarizes the evidence to date on optimum accelerated strategies for the rule-in and rule-out of AMI, using strategies focused on optimum use of troponin results.
Antithrombotic therapy is an essential component in the optimisation of clinical outcomes in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
The optimal antithrombotic treatment regimen for patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation represents a challenge in clinical practice.
In the current era, the antithrombotic treatment of patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) includes standard aspirin, and one of the potent P2Y12 inhibitors ticagrelor or prasugrel.
Objective: To study the safety and efficacy of different antithrombotic regimens using a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials in this population.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare downstream and upstream oral P2Y12 inhibitors administration strategies in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome undergoing invasive treatment.
Keep up to date with the latest guidelines and compare your own clinical practice against expert recommendations in this section of the Oral Anticoagulation Reversal Learning Zone.
Particular emphasis is placed on advances in reperfusion therapy, organization of regional systems of care, transfer algorithms, evidence-based antithrombotic and medical therapies, and secondary prevention strategies to optimize patient-centered care.
Review the latest digest 'Anticoagulation strategies in the perioperative period for lung transplant' in this section of the Learning Zone.
Background: Guidelines recommendations regarding anticoagulant therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) rely on retrospective, nonrandomized observational data.
