Application of Anticoagulation and Antiplatelet Therapy

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue delves into the different clinical settings in which we can apply antithrombotic therapies, both antiplatelet and anticoagulant.

We will explore the different clinical scenarios of atherothrombosis: coronary, cerebral, and peripheral artery diseases. Therefore, we will investigate the role and efficacy/safety ratio of these different pharmacological strategies.

In particular, we will focus on the clinical settings of highest thrombotic and bleeding risk, such as those with the contemporary presence of both antiplatelets and anticoagulants: atrial fibrillation plus acute coronary syndromes or ischemic stroke plus venous thromboembolism.

An emerging area is that of pharmacogenetic drugs, and we will evaluate the possible impact of the use of clopidogrel or warfarin.
