Current Antithrombotic Treatments for Cardiovascular Diseases: A Comprehensive Review.

ABSTRACT: Antithrombotic therapies (ATT) play a pivotal role in the management of cardiovascular diseases, aiming to prevent ischemic events while maintaining a delicate balance with the patient's bleeding risk. Typically, ATT can be classified into antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapies. Their application spans a broad spectrum of cardiovascular conditions, ranging from ischemic heart disease to atrial fibrillation, encompassing venous thromboembolisms and innovative structural interventional cardiology procedures. The global burden of cardiovascular diseases is steadily increasing, often giving rise to overlapping clinical presentations. Accordingly, the adoption of combined pharmacological approaches becomes imperative, potentially disrupting the delicate equilibrium between ischemic and bleedi
