#400 Antiplatelets, Anticoagulation for Coronary Artery Disease and Afib

Master the prescription of antiplatelets and anticoagulation for coronary artery disease and afib (atrial fibrillation). We discuss why, when, and how long to prescribe aspirin, clopidogrel, ticagrelor, prasugrel, and/or anticoagulation for primary, secondary, and “primary and a half” prevention including the definition and discussion of mono, dual, and triple therapy for patients with coronary disease who need anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation. We’re joined by preventive cardiologist, Dr. Donald Lloyd-Jones MD, ScM (@dmljmd from NMCardioVasc)! This episode was recorded in person at ACP’s (@ACPIMPhysicians) Internal Medicine Meeting 2023 #im2023 in San Diego.
