Atrial fibrillation and coronary artery disease: a review on the optimal use of oral anticoagulants
Rev Cardiovasc Med. 2021 Sep 24;22(3):635-648. doi: 10.31083/j.rcm2203074.ABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation (AF) represents the most prevalent supraventricular arrhythmia in adults population and up to 15% of AF patients undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary artery disease (CAD) during their life. While oral anticoagulants (OACs) exert a protective effect in the setting of stroke prevention and systemic embolization in AF patients, patients undergoing PCI are recommended to receive dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death, recurrent myocardial infarction and stent thromb...

Ticagrelor: clinical development and future potential
Rev Cardiovasc Med. 2021 Jun 30;22(2):373-394. doi: 10.31083/j.rcm2202044.ABSTRACTPlatelets participate centrally in atherothrombosis, resulting in vessel occlusion and ischaemia. Consequently, optimisation of antiplatelet regimens has the potential to further reduce the residual burden of morbidity and mortality associated with atherosclerosis. Ticagrelor is a potent oral platelet P2Y12 receptor antagonist that (1) inhibits a central amplification pathway of platelet activation directly as well as via an active metabolite, (2) has a rapid onset and offset of antiplatelet action that remains consistent in the circulation d...
