Abstract

The Annual meeting of the American Cardiology College Congress was held virtually between 15th and 17th of May in present 2021. This is indeed one of the most expected and relevant scientific events in the world of Cardiology.

We had excellent speakers and outstanding presentations updating central themes in our clinical practice referring to a wide range of frequent situations such us: cardiac surgery, interventional cardiology, management of arrhythmias. Bellow, we select and summarize some of the most significant works:

Aspirin versus clopidogrel for chronic maintenance monotherapy after percutaneous coronary intervention (HOST-EXAM).

TicAgrelor versus CLOpidogrel in Stabilized Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction (TALOS-AMI).

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion during Cardiac Surgery to Prevent Stroke III (LAAOS III).

Sotagliflozin in Patients with Diabetes and Recent Worsening Heart Failure (SOLOIST-WHF).

A Randomized Ablation-based atrial Fibrillation rhythm control versus rate control Trial in patients with heart failure and high burden Atrial Fibrillation (RAFT-AF).
