SUMMARYSUMMARY

•• Rivaroxaban reduced the risk of cardiovascular death, Rivaroxaban reduced the risk of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke in patients across themyocardial infarction, or stroke in patients across themyocardial infarction, or stroke in patients across the myocardial infarction, or stroke in patients across the spectrum of ACS.spectrum of ACS.

• Rates of major bleeding and ICH were higher with rivaroxaban; however, there was no excess risk of fatal ICH or fatal bleeding with rivaroxaban compared to placeboor fatal bleeding with rivaroxaban compared to placebo (particularly with 2.5 mg BID).

• One death would be prevented if 56 patients on antiplatelet therapies were treated for two years with rivaroxaban 2.5 mg BID.

CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION

• Very low dose anticoagulation with rivaroxaban (2 5 mg BID) in addition torivaroxaban (2.5 mg BID), in addition to antiplatelet therapies, represents an effective strategy to reduce cardiovasculareffective strategy to reduce cardiovascular events in patients with a recent ACS.
