ANTICOAGULANTS IN THERAPY OF PATIENTS WITH ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME WITHOUT ST SEGMENT ELEVATION: WHICH DRUG TO BE CHOSEN?
https://doi.org/10.20996/1819-6446-2008-4-2-66-75
Abstract
Problem of anticoagulant choice in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is discussed. Results of the main trials on low-molecular heparin therapy in patients with ACS as well as recommendations of European cardiology society and American heart association are presented. Peculiarities of other therapies (thrombin inhibitors, Ха-factor inhibitors) in ACS are surveyed.
