Kenneth L. Schaecher, MD, FACP, CPC, briefly explains both the clinical and economic outcomes demonstrated through treatment with these agents, and because a large number of antiplatelet drugs are developing, David Calabrese, RPh, MHP, discusses how newer agents address treatment gaps and have better economic value when compared to older agents.
