Treatment with Adenosine Diphosphate Receptor Inhibitors—Longitudinal Assessment of Treatment Patterns and Events after Acute Coronary Syndrome (TRANSLATE-ACS) study design: Expanding the paradigm of longitudinal observational research

Platelet inhibition is critical in reducing both short- and long-term atherothrombotic risks after acute myocardial infarction (MI), especially among patients managed with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Currently available antiplatelet medications, including adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor inhibitors, have demonstrated variability in efficacy and safety in clinical trials, yet few studies have examined contemporary "real-world"...
