| |
| | |
| For patients with non-ST-segment elevation ACS [[[unstable angina]] (UA)/non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI)], including patients who are to be managed medically and those who are to be managed with coronary revascularization, Plavix has been shown to decrease the rate of a combined endpoint of cardiovascular death, [[myocardial infarction]] (MI), or [[stroke]] as well as the rate of a combined endpoint of cardiovascular death, MI, stroke, or refractory ischemia.
| |
| For patients with [[ST-elevation myocardial infarction]] (STEMI), Plavix has been shown to reduce the rate of death from any cause and the rate of a combined endpoint of death, re-infarction, or stroke. The benefit for patients who undergo primary [[percutaneous coronary intervention]] is unknown.
| |
| | |
| The optimal duration of Plavix therapy in ACS is unknown.

| | |
| ====1.2 Recent MI, Recent Stroke, or Established Peripheral Arterial Disease====
