Abstract
Low-molecular-weight heparin appears to lead to a lower incidence of heart attack or death in patients with unstable angina compared to unfractionated heparin. Researchers randomly assigned 3,171 patients with unstable angina to receive twice daily subcutaneous injections of low-molecular-weight heparin or continuous intravenous unfractionated heparin. At 14 and 30 days, the incidence of heart attack, death or recurring angina was lower in the patients who received low-molecular-weight heparin. However, they had a slightly higher risk of bleeding.
