Universal Classification System Type of Incident Myocardial Infarction in Patients With Stable Atherosclerosis: Observations From Thrombin Receptor Antagonist in Secondary Prevention of Atherothrombotic Ischemic Events (TRA 2°P)‐TIMI 50

摘要

BackgroundOur dual aims were as follows: (1) to classify new or recurrent myocardial infarctions (MI) in patients with stable atherosclerosis using the Universal Definition of MI classification system; and (2) to characterize the effects of vorapaxar, a first‐in‐class platelet protease‐activated receptor ‐1 antagonist, on new or recurrent MI.
