Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Coronary Artery Disease: Comparison Between ACC/AHA 2016 and ESC 2017 Guidelines

Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is integral to the management of coronary artery disease (CAD) but there remains uncertainty as to the optimal approach for balancing an individual’s risk of atherothrombotic events versus their risk of bleeding complications. A myriad of clinical trials have investi...
