Unstable angina is a serious condition that can lead to a heart attack or death.
The condition is characterised by severe chest pain that signals the patient is at increased risk of heart attack and death. Unstable angina is caused by a decrease in blood and oxygen to the heart muscle and can occur when the patient is at rest or during minimal exertion. The onset of both conditions can be attributed to a blood clot resulting from the rupture of a coronary atherosclerotic plaque, which blocks the arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle. Hemorrhage is the most common side effect associated with the use of heparins. There was no increased risk of major bleeding complications in the study.
