Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) reduces the risk of ischaemic events but can increase the risk of bleeding in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Gorog and colleagues provide consensus statements on strategies to reduce the risk of bleeding by de-escalating the intensity or abbreviating the duration of DAPT.
In this Consensus Statement, Dewey and the other members of the Quantitative Cardiovascular Imaging Study Group provide clinical consensus recommendations on the optimal use of different imaging techniques in various patient populations to detect and assess coronary artery stenosis and atherosclerosis.
