This review highlights the critical balance between anti-ischemic efficacy and bleeding risk when using combination antiplatelet therapies for the treatment and prevention of atherothrombosis.

Cite This Study

Gurbel et al. (2010) conducted a review in Atherothrombosis and cardiovascular diseases. Combination antiplatelet therapies was evaluated. Combination antiplatelet therapies are evaluated for the treatment and prevention of atherothrombosis, with a critical balance required between anti-ischemic efficacy and bleeding risk.
