Abstract
Platelet activation plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease. The long-term benefit of dual anti-platelet therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin is well established for patients with acute coronary syndrome and for secondary prophylaxis of coronary artery disease. This review discusses latest developments in the field of the thienopyridines. Particularly, we focus on the evidence-based use of prasugrel or prasugrel versus clopidogrel in clinical practice.
