Antiplatelet therapy refers to the use of medications that inhibit platelet aggregation, thereby reducing the risk of thrombus formation in cardiovascular diseases. This therapy is crucial in preventing events such as myocardial infarction and stroke, particularly in patients with atherosclerosis or those who have undergone stenting.
