Antiplatelet therapy is the key point in the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Effective and safe antiplatelet therapy can avoid the risk of thrombosis or bleeding again. Herbal and Western medicine combined with antiplatelet therapy for ischemic cardiovascular events is a common phenomenon in clinical application, and more and more animal experiments, in vitro cell experiments, and randomized controlled clinical studies have also clarified the efficacy and interaction mechanism of the combination and safety. Herbal and Western medicine combined with antiplatelet therapy has made some progress in improving aspirin resistance and clopidogrel resistance, enhancing antiplatelet and antithrombotic effect, and reducing gastrointestinal adverse reactions caused by antiplatelet drugs. Both of them play the role of antiplatelet and antithrombotic by reducing platelet adhesion, inhibiting platelet activation and aggregation, and inhibiting platelet release, and the combination of drugs is safe. This article elaborates and analyzes the application progress and prospect of Chinese and Western medicine combined with antiplatelet therapy, in order to provide more theoretical support for future research.

Introduction: Several cardiovascular outcome trials have been conducted to assess the cardiovascular safety and efficacy of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) on cardiorenal outcomes in patients with type-2 diabetes (T2D). However, the strict requirements of randomised controlled trials to avoid most confounding factors are at the expense of external validity. Using national real-world data, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of GLP-1RAs in association with metformin especially on cardiovascular events, hospitalisation for heart failure and all-cause death in comparison with other diabetes treatment schemes using dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors, sulfonylureas/glinides or insulin also associated with metformin.

Background: Stroke secondary to intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is associated with high recurrence risk despite currently available secondary prevention strategies. In patients with systemic atherosclerosis, a significant reduction of stroke risk with no increase in intracranial or fatal hemorrhage was seen when rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily was added to aspirin.

Objective: To explore the prognosis and influencing factors of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to late stent thrombosis (LST) and very late stent thrombosis (VLST).

Methods: Patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for STEMI caused by LST and VLST at Tianjin Chest Hospital from January 2016 to June 2021 were selected as the study subjects, and long-term follow-up was conducted. The baseline clinical features, laboratory examination indicators, echocardiography results, coronary angiography and intervention treatment characteristics, and antiplatelet treatment status of patients were collected.

Background: Stroke is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. Identifying individuals who would benefit most from preventative interventions, such as antiplatelet therapy, is critical for personalized stroke prevention. However, traditional methods for estimating treatment effects often focus on the average effect across a population and do not account for individual variations in risk and treatment response.
