Abstract
Acute coronary syndrome is a major health problem affecting approximately 1.5 million individuals a year. Early diagnosis and appropriate evidence-based therapies improve clinical outcomes significantly. Current data suggest that an early invasive therapy may improve intermediate-term and long-term outcomes, particularly in high-risk individuals. The last few years also have seen significant advances in antiplatelet and antithrombotic therapies for the management of patients who have acute coronary syndrome.
