39. Recommendations:
Antiplatelet Agents (1)
• Consider aspirin therapy (75–162 mg/day) (C)
– As a primary prevention strategy in those with type 1 or type 2
diabetes at increased cardiovascular risk (10-year risk >10%)
– Includes most men >50 years of age or women >60 years of
age who have at least one additional major risk factor
• Family history of CVD
• Hypertension
• Smoking
• Dyslipidemia
• Albuminuria
ADA. VI. Prevention, Management of Complications. Diabetes Care 2012;35(suppl 1):S32.
40. Recommendations:
Antiplatelet Agents (2)
• Aspirin should not be recommended for
CVD prevention for adults with diabetes at
low CVD risk, since potential adverse
effects from bleeding likely offset potential
benefits (C)
• 10-year CVD risk <5%: men <50 and women
<60 years of age with no major additional CVD
risk factors
• In patients in these age groups with
multiple other risk factors (10-year risk
5–10%), clinical judgment is required (E)

41. Recommendations:
Antiplatelet Agents (3)
• Use aspirin therapy (75–162 mg/day)
– Secondary prevention strategy in those with diabetes with
a history of CVD (A)
• For patients with CVD and documented aspirin allergy
– Clopidogrel (75 mg/day) should be used (B)
• Combination therapy with ASA (75–162 mg/day) and
clopidogrel (75 mg/day)
– Reasonable for up to a year after an acute coronary
syndrome (B)
ADA. VI. Prevention, Management of Complications. Diabetes Care 2012;35(suppl 1):S32.
42. Clinical Assessment
Prehospital emergency medical system (EMS)
providers should administer 162 to 325 mg of
aspirin (chewed) to chest pain patients
suspected of having ACS unless contraindicated
or already taken by the patient. Although some
trials have used enteric-coated aspirin for initial
dosing, more rapid buccal absorption occurs
with non–enteric-coated formulations.

44. Antiplatelet Therapy
Patients with definite UA/NSTEMI at medium or high risk and in
whom an initial invasive strategy is selected should receive dual
antiplatelet therapy on presentation. (Level of Evidence: A) Aspirin
should be initiated on presentation. (Level of Evidence: A) The
choice of a second antiplatelet therapy to be added to aspirin on
presentation includes 1 of the following (note that there are no data
for therapy with 2 concurrent P2Y12 receptor inhibitors, and this is
not recommended in the case of aspirin allergy):
Before PCI:
•Clopidogrel (Level of Evidence: B); or
•Ticagrelor (Level of Evidence: B); or
•An IV GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor. (Level of Evidence: A) IV eptifibatide
and tirofiban are the preferred GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors. (Level of
Evidence: B)
At the time of PCI:
•Clopidogrel if not started before PCI (Level of Evidence: A); or

Clopidogrel Metabolism and Sites of Drug-Drug Interactions and Genetic Polymorphisms
Clopidogrel response variability is a pharmacokinetic problem primarily influenced by cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzyme activity in
the generation of the active metabolite. Clopidogrel absorption may be affected by polymorphism of the ABCB1 gene. The activity of
the hepatic cytochrome isoenzymes are influenced by drug-drug interactions (DDIs), single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and
other factors such as smoking and caffeine consumption.

Omeprazole Metabolism, Mechanism of Action, and Sites of Drug-Drug Interactions and Genetic Polymorphisms
After absorption, omeprazole undergoes activation (protonation) and the activated cyclic sulfonamide irreversibly inhibits H+/K+–
adenosine triphosphatase pump activity/gastric secretion. Omeprazole is extensively metabolized by and competitively inhibits CYP2C19
and CYP3A4. The major omeprazole metabolism pathway involves its conversion by CYP2C19 to inactive 5-hydroxyomeprazole that is
metabolized to inactive omeprazole hydroxy sulfonate by CYP3A4 in the second step. However, omeprazole first metabolized by CYP3A4 to
omeprazole sulfonate and further to omeprazole hydroxy sulfonate in the 2C19 loss-of-function allele carriers or subjects treated with drugs
that are mainly metabolized by 2C19 such as clopidogrel, diazepam, and phenytoin. Abbreviations as in Figure 1.

J Am Coll Cardiol Intv. 2011;4(4):365-380. doi:10.1016/j.jcin.2010.12.009
Potential Mechanisms of Drug-Drug Interaction Between Clopidogrel and Omeprazole
Based on pharmacogenomics, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics data, is it assumed that the major pathways of interaction
between omeprazole and clopidogrel are intestinal ABCB1 transporter and hepatic 2C19 isoenzymes. Abbreviations as in Figure 1.
52. the FDA recommendation goes far beyond the two drugs studied. Nexium and
Prilosec interfere with Plavix not because they are members of a particularly
powerful class of acid-reducing drugs called proton pump inhibitors or PPIs, but
because they inhibit an enzyme, CYP 2C19, that activates Plavix.
Several other drugs also inhibit CYP 2C19, and the FDA says patients on Plavix
should avoid them as well. These drugs are:
Tagamet (generic name: cimetidine)
Prozac, Sarafem, and Symbyax (generic name: fluoxetine)
Luvox (generic name: fluvoxamine)
Ticlid (generic name: ticlopidine)
Diflucan (generic name: fluconazole)
Nizoral (generic name: ketoconazole)
VFEND (generic name: voriconazole)
Intelence (generic name: etravirine)
Felbatol (generic name: felbamate)
53. Use of Proton pump inhibitors
Interfere with the metabolism of clopidogrel
-
- Lansoprazole inhibits CYP450 2C19
- Rabeprazole
Omeprazole : significantly decrease the inhibitory effect of
clopidogrel on platelet aggregation.
Pantoprazole lacks inhibition of CYP450 2C19

78. Antithrombotic agents: summary
• Antiplatelet agents: Aspirin . This well tested, widely used, and cheap agent
• Ticlopidine and clopidogrel. These antiplatelet agents preferred for prevention of stroke
and acute thrombotic closure after coronary artery stenting.
• Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor blockers, they are often used in acute coronary syndromes:
Abciximab, eptifibatide, tirofiban.
• Thrombin Receptor Antagonist (TRA): Vorapaxar
• Intravenous unfractionated heparin: backbone of anticoagulation in acute myocardial
infarction with or without thrombolysis.
LMWH: is easier to administer than unfractionated heparin
• Direct thrombin inhibitors are more effective than unfractionated heparin in unstable
angina, but carry a higher risk of major bleeding except for bivalirudin .
• Warfarin: slow onset of action over several days.
• Fibrinolytic agents: early stages of acute myocardial infarction
79. Antiplatelet drugs: interfere
with platelet activity
Anticoagulants: prevent clot
formation and extension
Thrombolytic agents:
dissolve existing thrombi

104. Indications of Anticoagulant Therapy
• Treatment & Prevention of Deep Venous Thrombosis
• Pulmonary Emboli
• Prevention of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation,
artificial heart valves, cardiac thrombus.
• Ischaemic heart disease
• During procedures such as cardiac catheterisation and
apheresis.
105. YING - YANG PRINCIPLE
• With every approach to reduce thrombosis,
however, there is an accompanying risk of
increasing bleeding complications .
• Conversely, reducing bleeding complications
may increase thrombotic (ischemic) events.
106. Thrombosis vs Bleeding
• They both increase morbidity and mortality
• Balancing both ends of the spectrum is
essential, and an individualized approach to
therapy is advocated.

141. Dabigatran vs. Warfarin
Noninferiority trial randomly assigned 18,113 patients who had atrial fibrillation and a risk of stroke to receive:
1. Fixed doses of dabigatran — 110 mg or 150 mg twice daily in a blinded fashion
2. Adjusted-dose warfarin in an unblinded fashion
The median duration of the follow-up period was 2.0 years.
The primary outcome was stroke or systemic embolism.
Results
Primary outcome
1.69% per year in the warfarin group
1.53% per year in the group that received 110 mg of dabigatran (P<0.001 for noninferiority)
1.11% per year in the group that received 150 mg of dabigatran ( P<0.001 for superiority)
Major bleeding
3.36% per year in the warfarin group
2.71% per year in the group receiving 110 mg of dabigatran (P=0.003)
3.11% per year in the group receiving 150 mg of dabigatran (P=0.31).
Hemorrhagic stroke
0.38% per year in the warfarin group
0.12% per year with 110 mg of dabigatran (P<0.001)
0.10% per year with 150 mg of dabigatran (P<0.001).
Mortality rate
4.13% per year in the warfarin group
3.75% per year with 110 mg of dabigatran (P=0.13)
3.64% per year with 150 mg of dabigatran (P=0.051).
Conclusions
Dabigatran 110 mg had rates of stroke and systemic embolism similar to warfarin with less major hemorrhage.
Dabigatran 150 mg had lower rates of stroke and systemic embolism but similar rates of major hemorrhage.

142
Long-term antithrombotic therapy should follow the risk-based recommendations for AF
146. Anticoagulation Therapy
Heparin is used to prevent recurrence of
emboli but has no effect on emboli that
are already present.
It is administered as an intravenous bolus
of 5,000 to 10,000 units, followed by a
continuous infusion initiated at a dose of
18 U/kg per hour, not to exceed 1,600
U/hour
147. Initial Conservative Strategy:
Anticoagulant Therapy
Anticoagulant therapy should be added to
antiplatelet therapy in UA/NSTEMI patients as
soon as possible after presentation.
•For patients in whom a conservative strategy is
selected, regimens using either enoxaparin* or
UFH (Level of Evidence: A) or fondaparinux
(Level of Evidence: B) have established
efficacy.
•In patients in whom a conservative strategy is
selected and who have an increased risk of
bleeding, fondaparinux is preferable.

The sum of scores is applied to a reference monogram to determine the corresponding all-cause mortality from hospital
discharge to 6 months. Eagle KA, et al. JAMA 2004;291:2727–33. The GRACE clinical application tool can be found at
www.outcomes-umassmed.org/grace. Also see Figure 4 in Anderson JL, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2007;50:e1–e157.

Here are some other, newer thienopyridines. They are more expensive and so their indication is restricted to patients after MI undergoing Percutaneous coronary intervention, as an alternative to Plavix.
In 2010, a position statement of the ADA, AHA, and the American College of Cardiology Foundation (ACCF) updated prior joint recommendations for primary prevention1Recommendations for the use of antiplatelet agents2 are summarized in three slidesSlide 1 of 3Low-dose (75–162 mg/day) aspirin use for primary prevention is reasonable for adults with diabetes and no previous history of vascular disease who are at increased CVD risk (10-year risk of CVD events >10%) and who are not at increased risk for bleedingThis generally includes most men over age 50 years and women over age 60 years who also have one or more of the following major risk factors: smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia, family history of premature CVD, or albuminuria
However, aspirin is no longer recommended for those at low CVD risk (women under age 60 years and men under age 50 years with no major CVD risk factors; 10-year CVD risk <5%), as the low benefit is likely to be outweighed by the risks of significant bleedingClinical judgment should be used for those at intermediate risk (younger patients with one or more risk factors, or older patients with no risk factors; those with 10-year CVD risk of 5–10%) until further research is available. Use of aspirin in patients under the age of 21 years is contraindicated due to the associated risk of Reye’s syndromeRecommendations for the use of antiplatelet agents are summarized in three slidesSlide 2 of 3Aspirin should not be recommended for CVD prevention for adults with diabetes at low CVD risk (10-year CVD risk <5%, such as in men <50 and women <60 years of age with no major additional CVD risk factors), since the potential adverse effects from bleeding likely offset the potential benefits (C)In patients in these age groups with multiple other risk factors (e.g., 10-year risk 5%-10%) clinical judgment is required (E)
Recommendations for the use of antiplatelet agents1 are summarized in three slidesSlide 3 of 3Use aspirin therapy (75-162 mg/day) as a secondary prevention strategy in those with diabetes with a history of CVD (A)For patients with CVD and documented aspirin allergy, clopidogrel (75 mg/day) should be used (B)Combination therapy with ASA (75-162 mg/day) and clopidogrel (75 mg/day) is reasonable for up to a year after an acute coronary syndrome (B)Clopidogrel has been demonstrated to reduce CVD events in diabetic individuals2 It is recommended as adjunctive therapy in the first year after an acute coronary syndrome or as alternative therapy in aspirin-intolerant patients

Their indication is restricted to the peri-Percutaneous coronary intervention period, and they are used in combination with aspirine and plavix to achieve a higher grade of platelet inactivation. Obviously, the bleeding risk in these patients is extremely high.
I have simplified graphic and content. I don't think we need P2Y 1 receptor. I would also leave out PAR-4.
For the subgroup analysis, patients were divided into approximately equal sized quintiles of risk groups based on their CRUSADE Bleeding Score
For ease of ease of use and convenience we developed a website Here is an example of the user interface. After entering in the appropriate range of values for each predictor, this online calculator will immediatiely provide an output of the CRUSADE Bleeding Score and the corresponding Risk of in-hospital major bleeding.
Patients with paroxysmal AF can be highly symptomaticThree main aims of treatment for paroxysmal AF are to: suppress paroxysms of AF and maintain sinus rhythm control heart rate during paroxysms of AF prevent complications Treatment strategies include out-of-hospital initiation of antiarrhythmic drugs: ‘pill in the pocket’ approachPatients with paroxysmal AF carry the same risks of stroke and thromboembolism as those with persistent AF
