Abstract

This material is the most important excerpt from the clinical guidelines of the European Cardiological Society (ECS) in 2017 on the use of double antiplatelet therapy (DAT). Developed on the basis of several dozens of clinical studies, the management of the ECS indicate which DAT drugs should be used and in what cases, for how long and in what patients should DAT be prescribed. In addition, separate sections of the document are devoted to the rules of using DAT in patients undergoing scheduled surgical intervention, as well as in patients who need oral anticoagulants. The latest clinical guidelines on DAT are the most important practical tool for the qualitative work of cardiologists, and will also be useful to doctors of other specialties.
