Updates in antithrombotic therapy for cardiovascular diseases Access webinars >

This educational programme made of a series of  3 free webinars is designed to update general and clinical cardiologists, angiologists and physicians – thanks to practical tips for their daily practice - on Anti-thrombotic therapy in Peripheral Artery Diseases (PAD) & Coronary Artery Diseases (CAD).

This initiative is co-organised by two Working Groups: "Aorta and Peripheral Vascular Diseases" and "Thrombosis".

Educational Training Programmes

Antithrombotic Therapies: Clinical challenges and future directions 

Following the webinar series “Updates in antithrombotic therapy for cardiovascular diseases”, the ESC Working Group on Aorta and Peripheral Vascular Diseases and the ESC Working Group on Thrombosis are renewing their collaboration to propose this course.

Eight sessions aims at:

• Understanding clinically relevant mechanisms of action (haemostatic and pharmacological) underlying the most recent and effective combined antithrombotic strategies in atherothrombotic and venous thromboembolic diseases
• Managing atherothrombotic diseases in the chronic and acute settings, in special patient populations such as diabetic, chronic kidney disease, pregnant, obese, older and/or frail patients who remain an unmet clinical need in spite of the most recent evidence
• Managing cardioembolic and venous thromboembolic diseases in the chronic and/or acute settings, with a special focus on cancer patients

Eight sessions aims at:

• Clarifying diagnostic processes, including differential diagnoses
• Giving critical review of revascularization strategies
• Describing current guidelines about medical and invasive therapies
• Reviewing the basics of ABI assessment and vascular imaging
