This article explores the role of antiplatelet interventions in the management of acute coronary syndromes, including the relationship between inflammation and thrombosis, the use of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors, risk stratification, and clinical trial evidence. It also highlights the benefits of tailoring treatment based on the level of risk.
