Abstract:
:There is a growing understanding of the central role that platelets play in coronary artery disease. The glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor has recently been identified as the final common pathway for platelet aggregation and hence has been the focus of many clinical trials to influence various aspects of coronary artery disease. In this report we give an overview of these clinical trials.
