Unstable coronary artery disease continues to pose a major challenge to clinicians. The advent of new therapies, such as percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, low-molecular-weight heparins, and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, provides new management options for this indication but also raises new questions with regard to optimal management. Prospective randomized trials with well-defined, long-term outcome measures and a means of identifying which patients will derive most benefit from each treatment, together with a means of rapid and clear dissemination of study results and implications, are required in order to advance the management of unstable coronary artery disease.
不稳定型冠状动脉疾病仍然是临床医生面临的重大挑战。经皮腔内冠状动脉成形术、低分子量肝素和糖蛋白IIb/IIIa抑制剂等新疗法的出现,为这一适应症提供了新的治疗选择,但也引发了关于最佳治疗方案的新问题。为了推进不稳定型冠状动脉疾病的治疗,需要进行前瞻性随机试验,采用明确的长期预后指标以及确定哪些患者将从每种治疗中获益最多的方法,同时还需要一种快速、清晰地传播研究结果及其意义的方法。
