Overview
This online CME activity, originally presented at the ESC Congress 2025, explores the latest challenges and developments in stroke prevention for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and after acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Led by expert faculty Prof Carolyn Lam (Singapore, UK), Prof Davide Capodanno (Catania, IT), Dr Sneha Shah Jain (Stanford, US) and Prof Jeffrey Weitz (Hamilton, CA), the course provides a concise yet in-depth review of current treatment guidelines, factor XI and innovations in antithrombotics and discussion on how clinical trial evidence may shape practice.
The session features an engaging expert discussion alongside a real-world patient case, designed to highlight clinical decision-making in complex scenarios. By the end of the activity, learners will be better equipped to evaluate and apply evidence-based strategies for optimising antithrombotic therapy in this high-risk patient group.
Support Statement
This satellite symposium is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Bristol Myers Squibb and its Alliance partner Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Target Audience
- Cardiologists
- Interventional Cardiologists
- Electrophysiologists
- Cardiac Surgeons
- Primary Care Practitioners
- HCPs involved in the care of ACS, AF and SSP
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Discuss the unmet needs in thrombosis management, MACE burden after ACS, stroke in AF and secondary stroke prevalence and consequences
- Evaluate the current standard of care for the treatment of ACS, SSP and AF and its limitations
- Review guidelines and critique current prescribing practices and the implications of inadequate treatment
- Explain the different strategies for targeting FXI and how FXI inhibition mechanisms differentiate from traditional anticoagulation therapies
- Identify emerging anticoagulant strategies and describe the efficacy and safety data from Phase 2 FXI inhibitor clinical trials as well as ongoing Phase 3 trials and potential place in therapy for ACS, AF and SSP
- Apply evidence-based anticoagulation strategies by optimising treatment decisions and addressing patient-specific risk factors
