Overview
The European Heart Association’s guideline update on NSTE-ACS management in 2020 took into consideration several landmark trials, which ultimately changed the level of recommendation on key aspects of antiplatelet use, in both pre- and post-PCI practice. This roundtable, led by Prof Dominick Angiolillo, considers the main updates, the data underpinning the changes and what they mean for real-world practice through expert discourse and case examination.
