This program is supported through an independent educational grant from Johnson & Johnson and Bristol Myers Squibb. It is intended exclusively for healthcare professionals globally.
In this 45-minute live webinar, national cardiovascular experts Jennifer Rymer, MD and Siddharth M. Patel, MD provide practical, case-based insights on optimizing thrombosis management in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), atrial fibrillation (AF), and secondary stroke prevention (SSP). Drawing on the latest guidelines and clinical trial evidence, webinar demonstrates how to apply validated risk assessment tools and tailor antithrombotic therapy to balance thrombotic and bleeding risk in high-risk patients.
Accreditation: 0.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.
This interactive session features clinical polling, real-world scenarios, and expert Q&A—helping healthcare professionals sharpen their ability to identify high-risk patients and select the right anticoagulation strategies across diverse cardiovascular settings.
