Relative efficacy and safety of ticagelor vs clopidogrel as a function of time to invasive management in non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome in the PLATO trial.

abstract：:In 2002, coronary angiography is the only way to assess precisely the combination of proximal stenoses, distal target vessels, collaterals, microcirculation, and TIMI antegrade flow. At the time of coronary angiography, global LV function is best determined using biplane ventriculography in order to correlate wall mot...
