Target Audience
This activity has been designed to address the educational needs of cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, vascular surgeons, hospitalists, primary care providers, podiatrists, endocrinologists, clinical pharmacists, nurse practitioners, PAs, and other clinicians who are involved or interested in the management of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and/or peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Program Overview
Antiplatelet therapy has been the long-running standard of care for patients with stable CAD and PAD, yet it is often insufficient to protect against secondary cardiovascular events. Can the addition of antithrombotic therapy help bridge this gap? Join our expert faculty as they delve into the latest science on dual pathway inhibition.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Describe key factors in the pathophysiology of atherosclerotic disease that elucidate the role of dual pathway inhibition
