Patients with acute or chronic coronary syndrome (ACS or CCS) are at increased risks of ischemic events, if they have the ischemic risk factors which include older age (i.e. >65 years), chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes mellitus (DM), prior myocardial infarction (MI), and multi-vessel disease, etc. There has been evidence supporting the long-term dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with ticagrelor in addition to aspirin. However, its use among high-risk patients in real-life practice remains suboptimal.

This survey aims to seek your experiences and opinions in optimizing antiplatelet strategy for patients with ACS or CCS. It only takes about 5 minutes to complete the survey, which is duly voluntary. Your participation is much appreciated!.

By completing this survey, you acknowledge that all information you provided will be used in analysis and publication for medical education purpose only. All personal data (i.e., information that would let someone identify you) will be kept confidential and secure.
