Meeting Summary

The purpose of this symposium was to:

  • Discuss the interplay between the coagulation cascade and platelets in arterial thrombus formation.
  • Present the rationale for oral antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy to reduce residual thrombotic risk in patients following Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS).
  • Discuss the significant benefits seen in patients following ACS when combining rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily with standard antiplatelet therapy.
  • Assess how the use of oral anticoagulation may change current standards of care and influence guidelines in patients with ACS.
