To summarize current evidence on antiplatelet drug use in cardiac and vascular disease.
To provide evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice.

Main Methods:

Comprehensive review of existing literature and clinical trials.
Analysis of antiplatelet therapy indications and outcomes.

Main Results:

Part I covers myocardial infarction, angina, and bypass grafts.
Part II addresses angioplasty, atrial fibrillation, artificial valves, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease.
