ABSTRACT
Aspirin is a cornerstone of therapy in the treatment of patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). However, dual antiplatelet therapy reduces the risk of stent thrombosis and cardiovascular events compared with aspirin alone in the treatment of patients with ACS. Recently, there has been debate as to which antiplatelet agent should be added to aspirin in the ACS treatment regimen. This review summarizes the pharmacologic and clinical data comparing clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor, and provides a practical guide to clinicians for determining which antiplatelet to use for patients with ACS.
