Acute Coronary Syndrome – Current Treatment – Detailed, Expanded Analysis: Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis (US)

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS)—subtype of coronary artery disease (CAD)—is an umbrella term encompassing ST-elevation myocardial infarction, non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, and unstable angina. This report focuses on the posthospital, secondary prevention of ACS aimed to prevent recurrent CV events, adverse cardiac remodeling, and prolong survival. The current ACS secondary prevention market is dominated by generic therapies. Branded options include the injectable PCSK9 inhibitors, Amgen’s Repatha (evolocumab) and Sanofi’s / Regeneron’s Praluent (alirocumab), and the oral antiplatelet agents, AstraZeneca’s Brilinta (ticagrelor) and Merck’s Zontivity (vorapaxar).
