Short- and long-term follow-up of antithrombotic management patterns in patients hospitalized with acute coronary syndrome: Indian subgroup of EPICOR Asia study.
CONCLUSION: This study showed a gap between international recommendations and implementation for managing ACS in Indian patients. Most of the patients prefer to undergo invasive management instead of non-invasive therapy. At the end of the 2-year follow-up, more than half of the population was receiving DAPT, with most patients on receiving a combination of aspirin and clopidogrel. The mortality along with composite events of death, MI, or ischemic stroke was highest for patients with NSTEMI.
