[Non-ST acute coronary syndromes].
Acute coronary syndromes are the first cause of death in France. Unstable angina is the most frequent acute coronary syndrome. Risk stratification to predict morbimortality and the risk of major hemorrhage is the key step of the medical approach. Combined antithrombotic therapy (aspirine + clopidogrel + LMWH) has led to a substantial reduction of major coronary events with a good tolerance because of the short duration of such aggressive strategy. This combined antithrombotic also allowed to increase the benefit of an early invasive strategy including coronary angiogram with stent percutaneous coronary intervention.
