First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study tests whether a simple risk score (OPT-CAD) can guide doctors on when to safely switch heart attack patients from two blood thinners to just one. About 3,500 participants will be assigned to stop one blood thinner at either 1 or 3 months based on their risk level. The goal is to reduce both bleeding and clotting events by personalizing treatment timing.
