Benefit of clopidogrel according to timing of percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute coronary syndromes: Further results from the Clopidogrel in Unstable angina to prevent Recurrent Events (CURE) study

The benefit of therapy with clopidogrel in addition to aspirin in patients presenting with NSTE ACSs was significant irrespective of the timing of PCI. The combination of clopidogrel and an early (<48 hours) interventional strategy was associated with low absolute event rates for CV death/nonfatal MI.
