Head-to-Head Comparison of Two Different Low-Molecular-Weight Heparins in Acute Coronary Syndrome. A Single Center Experience.

Abstract: SUMMARYLow-molecular-weight heparins (LMWH) of different types have yielded different results when used in the setting of unstable angina (UA) or non Q-wave myocardial infarction (NQMI). We compared the safety and therapeutic efficacy of two different LMWHs, namely dalteparin (Dalt.) and enoxaparin (Enox.), in the acute phase (first 5 days) of UA or NQMI.One hundred and forty-two patients with UA/NQMI were randomly assigned to treatment with either Dalt. [120 IU/kg twice daily by subcutaneous (SC) injection] o… Show more

“…35 Similar results were obtained after 6 and 12 months. 38 A significantly higher incidence of non-coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) -related TIMI major bleeding (Table 3) at 30 days was associated with enoxaparin compared to UFH.…”

“…28 Countering this last argument, however, is the significant finding that the primary end point was already statistically significantly in favor of enoxaparin by 48 hours (4.9% vs 6.3%; P ¼ .02). 35 While there has been a published trial comparing enoxaparin to dalteparin in patients with NSTE ACS, this was a single-center, nonrandomized, nonblinded trial of only 142 patients, which was much too small to produce any conclusions. 35 There is 1 trial comparing enoxaparin to tinzaparin in patients with NSTE ACS.…”
