59-yr-old man
Medical history : Coronary artery disease,
hypertension, and hyperlipidemia
Symptoms : sudden onset headache, mild

(CT) scan demonstrated a left paramedian

14. Recommendations for duration of DAPT in patients
with ACS who undergo PCI
PCI for STEMI or NSTEACS
DAPT for 1 year ASA 81 mg once daily + Ticaglor 90 mg BID or prasugrel 10
mg once daily preferred over clopidogrel 75 mg once daily
At 1 year, determine bleeding risk
Not at high risk of bleeding High risk of bleeding
Continue DAPT for up to 3 years
ASA 81 mg once daily + Ticaglor
60 mg BID or Clopidogrel 75
ASA 81 mg once daily or
Clopidogrel 75 mg once daily or
Clopidogrel 75 mg once daily

78.8% and 78.1% of patients were receiving triple
FDC
of rosuvastatin, clopidogrel, and aspirin

31. • 70% of non-reperfused STEMI patients received all four medications
(DAPT [aspirin and clopidogrel], anticoagulants, and statins) as
recommended by guidelines.
• Level of adherence was significantly associated with a 54% reduction
in the odds of in-hospital mortality after adjusting for potential
confounders

37. Barriers to optimal dyslipidaemia management post ACS
Dyslipidemia control post ACS is suboptimal.
High prevalence of CVD risk factors confers a higher risk of CVD
ACS onset is often earlier in these patients, and they may be more
challenging to treat
Low awareness of the value of intensive lipid lowering
Patients non-adherence to given medication
Fear of side effect
Lack of follow-up of patients with ACS
Poor access to intensive medications
Economical factors
