Target Audience and Goal Statement

This activity was developed for clinicians who manage patients with cardiovascular disease.

The goals of this program are for clinicians to:

  1. Personalize the intensity and duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) to optimize clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
  2. Incorporate more potent and extended DAPT into the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes
  3. Utilize antiplatelet therapy strategies to reduce bleeding risk in patients with high bleeding risk (HBR) after PCI
  4. Explain considerations that help determine the choice between DAPT and dual pathway inhibition (DPI), and use extended dual therapy in appropriate patients to reduce ischemic risk

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants will:

  1. Discuss the multiple factors to be considered when assessing ischemic risk and bleeding risk after PCI
  2. Recognize diabetes mellitus as a criterion for increased ischemic risk
  3. Identify patients at HBR and interpret clinical evidence using bleeding risk-reduction strategies with antiplatelet therapy
  4. Describe factors for consideration of extended DAPT or DPI and explain clinical trial results


Disclosures

Voxmedia strives to ensure fair-balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigor in all directly or jointly sponsored educational activities. All prospective faculty are required to disclose to Voxmedia all financial relationships for the preceding 24 months (1) with any commercial interest producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services consumed by, or used on, patients AND (2) with any commercial supporters prior to participating in the planning of an activity or developing content. Only after Voxmedia mitigates all financial relationships may faculty receive approval to participate, and are expected to contribute evidence-based material. Faculty are required to indicate areas of their presentation that are based on professional opinion vs. guidelines, meta-analysis. All information submitted will be peer-reviewed. The intent of this disclosure is not to prevent faculty from participating, but rather to provide learners with information on which they can make their own judgment of commercial bias. Voxmedia will disclose to learners that all relevant financial relationships have been mitigated in either written materials, visually and/or verbally. It remains for the audience to determine whether the speaker's interests or relationships may influence the presentation. Speakers must make a meaningful disclosure to the audience of their discussions of any unlabeled or investigational use(s) of drugs or devices.
