Therapy of unstable angina with the low molecular weight heparins
Abstract
Unstable angina is in most cases caused by partial or complete coronary artery occlusion due to the disruption of an atherosclerotic plaque and to thrombus formation. An immediate antithrombotic approach is essential to prevent fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction, and the combination of aspirin and unfractionated heparin has played a pivotal role in the past years.
