ACC / AHA Guidelines for Anticoagulation Therapy (DO NOT EDIT)
Class I |
"1. Anticoagulant therapy should be added to antiplatelet therapy in UA / NSTEMI patients as soon as possible after presentation.
|
Class IIa |
"1. For UA / NSTEMI patients in whom an initial conservative strategy is selected, enoxaparin or fondaparinux is preferable to UFH as anticoagulant therapy, unless CABG is planned within 24 h. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
