Abstract

The diagnosis and management of acute myocardial infarction (MI) is well documented in guidelines from professional societies [1,2]. These guideline recommendations are based on the premise that atherothrombosis is the underlying pathophysiological process responsible for the acute MI presentation; a concept that is consistent with the presence of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) on coronary angiography. Accordingly, therapies targeting the atherothrombotic process have been evaluated and shown to be of benefit with a large evidence-base.
