Current Advances and Future Directions for Antithrombotic Treatment Strategies

Dear Colleagues,

The last decade has seen major advances in the development and management of antithrombotic therapy, a field that is still rapidly evolving. Pivotal trials have revolutionized many aspects of antithrombotic therapy in several areas of cardiovascular disease, including atrial fibrillation, ischemic heart disease, and venous thromboembolism; however, the overarching aim remains to achieve the greatest reduction in thrombotic risk, with the minimum risk of bleeding. In the coming years, focus on high-risk patients, implementation of personalized medicine, and the inclusion of antithrombotic strategies in the context of more comprehensive and holistic treatment approaches will be some of the most intriguing challenges that we will face.

This special issue aims to collect original contributions, literature reviews (including systematic reviews and meta-analysis), viewpoints, or any other kind of contribution related to the present and future development of antithrombotic strategies in the broad field of cardiovascular diseases. Submission with a particular focus on an innovative and comprehensive approach to the topic, or current unmet needs in antithrombotic strategies, are particularly encouraged.
