Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Antiplatelet therapy is integral to the acute and long-term management of acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) and for minimizing the thrombotic complications of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This article reviews the most commonly used antiplatelet agents in ACS therapy-aspirin, adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-receptor blockers, and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors. More recent data are also reviewed on novel ADP-receptor blockers and thrombin inhibitors before addressing issues of adherence to antiplatelet regimens.
