Overview
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), consisting of aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor, is the cornerstone of the management of acute coronary syndromes. Despite its proven benefits, the choice of P2Y12 inhibitors remain to be debated over the decades because of the differences in efficacy and safety profiles among these agents. In this 60-minute session by the ISCP focusing on the A to Z of CV Pharmacotherapy, we will examine the differences between clopidogrel and ticagrelor, the two most widely used P2Y12 inhibitors worldwide. We will also identify the patient groups who can benefit most and discuss the optimal treatment duration.
Learning Objectives
To evaluate and understand which patients should and should not be prescribed with clopidogrel and ticagrelor and which patients groups might benefit most;
To review the pharmacokinetics of clopidogrel and ticagrelor and their potential drug-drug interactions;
To analyse special and regional issues that impact the use of this drug;
To apply evidence-based recommendations to two real world cases.
Target Audience
Cardiovascular team members - doctors, nurses, pharmacists
Family physicians
Internists
Faculty
Led by moderators Craig Beavers (USA) and Franco Cheng (Hong Kong), it includes a speaker presentation from Diana A Gorog (UK) and a discussion from panellist Sotiris Antoniou (UK) that will examine the difference between two widely used P2Y12 inhibitors, clopidogrel and ticagrelor, through consideration of real-world examples, live discussions and audience Q&A.
