Abstract
Background: The clinical presentation of coronary artery disease can range from asymptomatic, through stable disease in the form of chronic coronary syndrome, to acute coronary syndrome. Chronic coronary syndrome is a frequent condition, and secondary prevention of ischaemic events is essential.
Summary: Antithrombotic therapy is a key component of secondary prevention strategies, and it may vary in type and intensity depending on patient characteristics, comorbidities, and revascularisation modalities. Dual antiplatelet therapy is the default strategy in patients with chronic coronary syndrome and recent coronary stent implantation, while antiplatelet monotherapy is commonly prescribed for long-term prevention of cardiovascular events. Oral anticoagulation, in combination with antiplatelet therapy or alone, is used in patients with, e.g., concomitant atrial fibrillation or venous thromboembolism.
Key messages: This review provides an overview of antithrombotic treatment strategies in patients with chronic coronary syndrome. Key messages from current guidelines are conveyed, and we provide future perspectives on long-term antithrombotic strategies.
期刊介绍:
''Cardiology'' features first reports on original clinical, preclinical and fundamental research as well as ''Novel Insights from Clinical Experience'' and topical comprehensive reviews in selected areas of cardiovascular disease. ''Editorial Comments'' provide a critical but positive evaluation of a recent article. Papers not only describe but offer critical appraisals of new developments in non-invasive and invasive diagnostic methods and in pharmacologic, nutritional and mechanical/surgical therapies. Readers are thus kept informed of current strategies in the prevention, recognition and treatment of heart disease. Special sections in a variety of subspecialty areas reinforce the journal''s value as a complete record of recent progress for all cardiologists, internists, cardiac surgeons, clinical physiologists, pharmacologists and professionals in other areas of medicine interested in current activity in cardiovascular diseases.
