Comparative Study[Effect of clopidogrel combined with calcium-channel blocker on coronary artery disease in elderly patients: a propensity score-based retrospective cohort study].
To compare the effects of clopidogrel combined with dihydropyridine calcium-channel blockers (CCBs) or non-dihydropyridine CCBs on coronary artery disease (CAD) in elderly patients. ⋯ Compared with clopidogrel without CCB, clopidogrel with CCB does not increase the mortality or composite thromboembolic events in elderly CAD patients, but clopidogrel combined with non-dihydropyridine CCB is associated with significantly increased composite thromboembolic events in comparison with dihydropyridine CCB.
