6th International Experts Forum (IEF) in Rome
|  |
On 6 October 2007, Bayer hosted its 6th International Experts Forum (IEF) in Rome, Italy.
Entitled "Aspirin in the 21st Century; Cardiovascular Disease Epidemic: Realizing the Potential",
this signature, annual meeting was chaired by Professor Antonio Ceriello, and boasted an esteemed
faculty of 9 key opinion leaders from around the world and over 250 participants representing
27 different countries.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has reached epidemic proportions across the globe and there is an
urgent need for prevention in both primary and secondary prevention populations. Moreover,
despite the availability of cost-effective interventions, such as aspirin, and guidelines to
support clinical practice, many patients at risk of CVD remain unidentified and untreated.
Therefore, this meeting brought together leading experts from around the world to discuss the
global burden of cardiovascular (CV) risk, the efficacy and role of aspirin in the prevention
of initial and recurrent CV events, along with the evidence and clinical practice guidelines
supporting its use.
Through a series of didactic presentations, interspersed with audience response questions,
patient profiles, case histories, and panel discussions, invaluable insights were gained about
appropriate aspirin use in various patient populations; including diabetics, stroke patients,
and primary prevention candidates. In addition, the reasons for aspirin underutilization and
possible ways to overcome them were discussed.

"After five years the external data monitoring board asked that we terminate the study because of a striking, very extreme benefit of aspirin. Aspirin® reduced the risk of a first heart attack by 44 percent, and this was quite an earthshaking finding at that time."
