About the episode

ESC Congress 2024 — Edoxaban monotherapy significantly improves outcomes in high-risk patients with CAD and atrial fibrillation.

Investigators, Dr Gi-Byoung Nam (Ulsan University Hospital, Ulsan, SK) and Dr Min Soo Cho (Asan Medical Center, Seoul, SK) join us to discuss the key findings from the EPIC-CAD trial (NCT03718559).

This Korean multi-centre, open-labelled, randomised controlled study investigated the effectiveness and safety of edoxaban monotherapy compared to edoxaban combined with an antiplatelet agent in 1040 patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) with a stenosis of at least 50% on medical management or post-revascularisation (at least 12 months after acute coronary syndrome or 6 months after stable CAD), and who also have a high risk of atrial fibrillation (CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥2). The primary outcome measure was a composite of clinical events at one year.

Findings showed that edoxaban monotherapy significantly reduced the risk of a net composite outcome of death by any cause, stroke, systemic embolism, myocardial infarction unplanned revascularisation and major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding at one year after revascularisation by 56% compared with dual antithrombotic therapy.
