title: Emergence of low-molecular-weight heparins in cardiology.
abstract: Drug therapy for the management of acute coronary syndromes is rapidly expanding. Over the past few years, a number of new antithrombotic agents have been introduced, including low-molecular-weight heparins. The epidemiology and pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes are discussed, with a historical perspective on the use of antithrombotic therapy.
