- Description
- Dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) has become a mainstay of treatment for coronary artery disease. The recently updated 2016 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines have challenged the optimal duration of DAPT therapy. In this review, the currently available antiplatelet agents and the evidence in support of their combined use for both stable and acute ischemic heart disease are discussed. Furthermore, the perioperative management of patients on DAPT also is reviewed.
