Do you always give 325mg aspirin if not already loaded with antiplatelets prior to the start of every LHC, even just for diagnostics in the absence of ACS?

Would you still aspirin load if patients were on a DOAC that has since been on hold?

Answer from: at Community Practice

Yes. I favor loading almost all patients prior to a LHC even if only diagnostic. That includes those on a DOAC as well. The reason I favor this is in case there was a complication and need for PCI that the patient at least has one anti-platelet in their system.
