Antithrombotic treatment with and without invasive management is a fundamental component of ACS management. While dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) combining aspirin and a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor has been consistently shown to reduce recurrent major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with ACS, the combination and time of initiation should reflect the ischaemic and bleeding risk of the patient. Other pharmacological therapies for long term maintenance after an ACS event include high-intensity lipid lowering agents, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) and beta blockers.
Learn more about these drug therapy strategies from Prof. Dr. Kurt Huber. View his presentation from the ACS Forum 2020 webinar and download the accompanying slides for more information.
