Educate Patients About Their Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Duration

June 2016

You'll see a more individualized approach for how long to use aspirin PLUS another antiplatelet for coronary disease.

We know to use dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT)...aspirin 81 mg PLUS either clopidogrel, ticagrelor, or prasugrel...such as in patients after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or stent placement.

Now there will be more flexibility to use shorter courses for patients at lower CV risk...and longer courses for those at higher risk.
