Dual-antiplatelet therapy should remain the standard strategy for PCI even in the drug-eluting stent era

Prasugrel monotherapy after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents is not superior to dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for major bleeding but is non-inferior for cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or high bleeding risk (HBR), according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2023.

CRT-D upgrade reduces morbidity and mortality in HFrEF patients with RV pacing

Upgrade to cardiac resynchronization therapy with a defibrillator (CRT-D) reduces morbidity and mortality and improves left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling compared to an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in select patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and intermittent or permanent right ventricular (RV) pacing, according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2023.
