Long-term risk, clinical management, and healthcare resource utilization of stable patients with coronary artery disease and post-myocardial infarction in Greece-TIGREECE study
CONCLUSIONS: Study results indicate that in the routine care of Greece one in ten patients experience a recurring CV event or death, mainly of ischemic origin, 1-3 years post-MI.PMID:36746373 | DOI:10.1016/j.hjc.2023.01.007

The incidence of recurrent cardiovascular events among acute coronary syndrome patients treated with generic or original clopidogrel in relation to their sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. The Aegean study.
Conclusions: The use of a generic clopidogrel besylate formulation was quite high in both urban and insular areas of Greece and had similar efficacy and safety profile with the original clopidogrel salt, supporting the routine use of this low-cost generic clopidogrel in the management of cardiovascular disease patients.

Antiplatelet treatment in diabetic patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: a GReek AntiPlatElet registry substudy
Conclusion In ‘real-life’ ACS undergoing PCI, diabetic patients have higher – although not significantly – MACE rate and no difference in bleeding events. This difference in MACE was significant among clopidogrel-treated patients, whereas when newer antiplatelet agents were used the negative impact of DM on ischemic events was eliminated.
