Multidisciplinary Approach to Antiplatelet Management in Coronary Syndromes: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.

Individualized antiplatelet management strategies are essential for patients with coronary syndromes, with current guidelines emphasizing tailored therapy based on patient and disease factors.

• Why it matters: Optimizing antiplatelet therapy is crucial to balance thrombotic risk reduction against bleeding complications, especially given the increasing complexity of evidence and care transitions.
• What they did: The authors review contemporary evidence and highlight the role of a multidisciplinary cardiovascular team—including cardiologists, pharmacists, and nurses—in ensuring appropriate antithrombotic stewardship for these patients.
• The result: This approach aims to reduce inappropriate prescribing, improve adherence, and minimize adverse outcomes, ultimately enhancing patient care in acute and chronic coronary disease.
