2. Eptifibatide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eptifibatide

   Eptifibatide is used to reduce the risk of acute cardiac ischemic events (death and/or myocardial infarction) in patients with unstable angina or non-ST-segment-elevation (e.g., non-Q-wave) myocardial infarction (i.e., non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes) both in patients who are to receive non surgery (conservative) medical treatment and those undergoing percutaneous coronary ...

3. Antiplatelet drug - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiplatelet_drug

   Antiplatelet drugs are widely used in primary and secondary prevention of thrombotic disease, especially myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. [1] Antiplatelet therapy with one or more of these drugs decreases the ability of blood clots to form by interfering with the platelet activation process in primary hemostasis. Antiplatelet drugs ...

4. Management of acute coronary syndrome - Wikipedia

   However, some important aspects of treatment depend on the presence or absence of elevation of the ST segment on the electrocardiogram, which classifies cases upon presentation to either ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NST-ACS); the latter includes unstable angina and non-ST ...

8. Adenosine diphosphate receptor inhibitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_diphosphate...

   Adenosine diphosphate receptor inhibitors are a drug class of antiplatelet agents, used in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or in preventive treatment for patients who are in risk of thromboembolism, myocardial infarction or a stroke. These drugs antagonize the P2Y 12 platelet receptors and therefore prevent the binding of ADP to ...
