Long-term Dual Antiplatelet Therapy for Prevention of Cardiovascular Events
Collaborative meta-analysis explores the efficacy of long-term dual antiplatelet therapy in preventing cardiovascular events in patients with previous myocardial infarction. Trials show heterogeneous results on the benefits and safety of prolonged therapy, with varying recommendations based on patient populations and risk factors. Guidelines recommend different durations of therapy based on the type of coronary syndrome and stenting, highlighting the importance of individualized treatment plans.

Disclosures for Dr. Udell There was no funding source for this study Advisory Board: Merck, Novartis, Sanofi Pasteur Research Grants: Support through Women s College Hospital from Novartis, NYU, Brigham & Women s Hospital This presentation discusses off-label and/or investigational uses of platelet ADP receptor antagonist drugs, including clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor
Duration of DAPT following MI Recent trials have examined the effect of prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in a variety of patient populations Heterogeneous results regarding benefit and safety, specifically regarding CV and non-CV mortality Do patients with a history of MI, who are at high risk for major adverse CV events with persistent platelet activation, benefit more from DAPT versus stable PCI patients?

Objective / Hypothesis Need for definitive longer-term data on the CV benefit and safety of extended DAPT beyond one year for secondary prevention in patients following an MI We evaluated with a meta-analysis of RCTs whether long-term DAPT reduces CV risk compared with aspirin alone in patients with a history of previous MI Udell JA, et al. Eur Heart J 2015 at eurheartj.oxfordjournals.org.

Summary Compared with aspirin alone, extended DAPT >1 year among stabilized high-risk patients with previous MI: - Decreased the risk of MACE, MI, stroke alone & CV death alone - Increased risk of major bleeding, but not fatal bleeding or ICH - No excess of non-CV causes of death Effect of extended DAPT consistent irrespective of: - DAPT regimen, time from MI, ST-elevation, or PCI status Who were high-risk pts at low risk of bleeding that derived benefit from extended DAPT? - High Risk: ~1-3 years after an MI with additional CV risk factors - Low Bleeding Risk: Excluded patients with anticoagulation, recent bleeding, recent surgery, or any history of ICH - Caution: Very few patients studied had prior stroke/TIA Udell JA, et al. Eur Heart J 2015 at eurheartj.oxfordjournals.org.
Conclusion These findings indicate that in patients with prior MI who are at low risk of bleeding, continuation of dual antiplatelet therapy beyond a year offers a substantial reduction in important cardiovascular outcomes, including cardiovascular death Udell JA, et al.
