Summary
Review important topics of thrombosis related with SARS-Cov-2, discuss how to improve the management of AF patients and update on the appropriate therapeutic use of antithrombotics in ACS/CAD patients
Learning objectives
- Learn about the mechanisms of thromboinflammation in different clinical situation with focus on the current COVID-19 outbreak and to understand the role of biomarkers to estimate diagnosis and thromboembolic risk in inflammatory disease.
- Get new insights in AF and the risk of thrombotic- and bleeding- related complications and the potential use of biomarkers for AF-risk stratification.
- Understand the challenges of antithrombotic management in ACS and CAD patients in order to minimize thrombotic complications and bleeding risk.
