Educational objectives of the symposium

The goal of this program were to summarize the knowledge with regard to peri- and post procedural management of MI, based on patient cases.

After attending this program, the clinician will be better able to: 

• Understand the pathophysiology of acute MI with a focus on the mechanisms of platelet aggregation

• Identify the role of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors in ACS

• Summarize the cumulative published clinical trial and registry data on the use of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors in ACS patients undergoing PCI

• Describe the outcomes of peri- and post procedural platelet inhibition in MI intervention

• Discuss the selective use of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors in international guidelines and in daily practice

• Improve practical understanding of when and why to use GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors in ACS PCI patients

• Discuss the future of antiplatelet therapies and their potential clinical implications
