ASCVD, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; SAPT, single antiplatelet therapy, usually low-dose aspirin.

Therapeutic dose anticoagulation may be considered in patients without high risk of bleeding.

Thromboprophylaxis may be considered in high-risk patients (persistent immobility, history of venous thromboembolism, advanced age, obesity, cancer, thrombophilia, increased D-dimer concentrations, and high inflammatory activity) and low risk of bleeding.
