Antiplatelet therapy is the cornerstone of the pharmacologic management of
patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Over the last years, several studies
have evaluated old and new oral or intravenous antiplatelet agents in ACS
patients. In particular, research was focused on assessing superiority of two
novel platelet ADP P2Y12 receptor antagonists (i.e., prasugrel and ticagrelor)
over clopidogrel. Several large randomized controlled trials have been undertaken
in this setting and a wide variety of prespecified and post-hoc analyses are
available that evaluated the potential benefits of novel antiplatelet therapies
in different subsets of patients with ACS. The aim of this document is to review
recent data on the use of current antiplatelet agents for in-hospital treatment
of ACS patients. In addition, in order to overcome increasing clinical challenges
and implement effective therapeutic interventions, this document identifies all
potential specific care pathway for ACS patients and accordingly proposes
individualized therapeutic options.
