New Antithrombotics in CAD: Topics to Consider and Discuss The big picture: global CV disease burden, societal costs, need for evidence Increasing patient complexity Complexities in decision making Antithrombotic therapies: current options and what s in development Personalized medicine
Global Cardiovascular Disease Burden 20 15 CVD deaths (millions) 10 5 1990: 25% of all deaths were from CVD. 2020: 40% of all deaths will be from CVD. In developing countries, MI and CVD deaths occur 10 20 years earlier. CVD deaths < 70 y.o. in developing countries: 50% CVD deaths < 70 y.o. in Western countries: 20% 0 Reddy KS. NEJM 2004

TRA Background Vorapaxar is an oral, potent, selective thrombin receptor antagonist (TRA) being developed for the prevention and treatment of atherothrombosis. Preclinical and early clinical studies have demonstrated vorapaxar to have antithrombotic properties, with no increase in bleeding time or clotting times (aptt, PT, ACT).
