Ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel in acute coronary syndromes - the TC4 comparative effectiveness study
EF 2017-18
Résumé
Blood thinners are an important medication to prevent cardiac events including death and are recommended for almost all patients after a heart attack. Usually two blood thinners are given for this purpose. Recently new blood thinners have become available. However as only one comparative study has been performed, it is unclear if these new blood thinners provide better outcomes at an acceptable risk of bleeding. This project seeks to gather new evidence that can contribute to answering that question.

However as only one comparative study has been performed, it is unclear if these new blood thinners provide better outcomes at an acceptable risk of bleeding.
