This PubMed record describes a clinical consensus statement entitled “Optimal lifelong roadmap post-acute coronary syndrome: a clinical consensus statement of the European Association of Preventive Cardiology of the European Society of Cardiology.” The article is published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology (Eur J Prev Cardiol) with citation 2026 Sep 4;33(11):1913–1939 and is indexed under PubMed PMID 42017832 and DOI 10.1093/eurjpc/zwag236. The article is listed as a free article on PubMed.
The title identifies the central topic as an optimal lifelong roadmap for patients after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and indicates the issuing body as the European Association of Preventive Cardiology (EAPC) within the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).
The statement is authored by Roberto F E Pedretti et al., with a multi‑author group representing diverse European institutions and clinical settings. Author affiliations reported on PubMed include academic cardiology departments, cardiovascular rehabilitation units, departments of metabolic health, research methodology and nursing, acute and intensive cardiac care units, and representatives from the ESC Patient Forum.
Countries represented in the affiliations include Italy, Belgium, Poland, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, Greece, and others. The author list reflects multidisciplinary collaboration among clinicians, researchers, rehabilitation specialists, psychologists, and patient representatives.
The article title and its placement within the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology indicate the work is a consensus statement focused on long‑term care and secondary prevention strategies for patients after acute coronary syndrome. As an EAPC/ESC consensus, the document aims to synthesize expert opinion and available evidence to provide guidance on lifelong management post‑ACS in the context of preventive cardiology.
Given the issuing society and the title, the consensus likely addresses themes relevant to clinicians involved in secondary prevention, cardiac rehabilitation, risk factor control, follow‑up planning, and system‑level care pathways. However, the PubMed record available here supplies only bibliographic metadata and author information.
The PubMed entry provides the following verifiable items:
These identifiers and metadata are sufficient for clinicians and information specialists to locate and retrieve the full text from the journal or DOI resolver.

The PubMed page notes a direct full‑text link (journal platform) where the complete review and consensus can be read.
This PubMed entry documents a multidisciplinary ESC/EAPC consensus on lifelong care after acute coronary syndrome, providing authoritative bibliographic and authorship information. However, clinicians should obtain the full text to review the detailed recommendations and implementation guidance before applying any elements in practice.
For clinical teams involved in secondary prevention and cardiac rehabilitation, retrieving and reviewing the consensus statement will provide the necessary content for local pathway development, patient counselling, and quality improvement — details that are not available in the PubMed metadata alone.
