Gene mutations of platelet glycoproteins and response to tirofiban in acute coronary syndrome

Gene mutations of platelet glycoproteins and response to tirofiban in acute coronary syndrome

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES: Glycoprotein inhibitors (abciximab, eptifibatide and tirofiban) are used in patients with unstable angina and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction before percutaneous coronary intervention. Of these, tirofiban is the least effective. We hypothesized that the respon...
