Expert Illustrations & Commentaries Live!™: Antithrombotic Approaches to Reduce the Risk of Secondary Events in CAD and PAD

Target Audience
This educational activity is directed toward cardiologists and cardiology subspecialists involved in the care of patients with or at risk for atherosclerotic disease. Nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and other health care professionals interested in the treatment of atherosclerotic disease are invited to participate.

Program Overview
There remain opportunities to improve outcomes for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). This online, on-demand virtual symposium brings together leading clinician-researchers in atherosclerotic disease management to provide insight on state-of-the-art strategies for the prevention of CAD and PAD. By coupling expert faculty commentary with video animations and case discussions, this symposium highlights current recommendations that constitute best practices.

This educational activity is an archive of the live symposium held on April 3, 2022.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

Discuss the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis
Describe the rationale for novel secondary prevention antithrombotic strategies in high-risk patients with CAD/PAD
Develop strategies to overcome challenges in reducing the risk of secondary events in patients with PAD and CAD
Evaluate the efficacy and safety of antithrombotic strategies in patients with CAD and PAD to mitigate CV risk
