For what condition are Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Receptor Antagonists primarily used?

  1. STEMI

  2. HF

  3. ACS or PCI +/- stent patients

  4. Hypertension

The correct answer is: ACS or PCI +/- stent patients

Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists are primarily used for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with or without stent placement. They are not typically used for patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), heart failure (HF), or hypertension. In STEMI, other medications such as thrombolytics or angioplasty are typically used. For HF, medications to manage symptoms and improve heart function are used. Hypertension is typically managed with blood pressure lowering medications. Thus, the correct answer is option C as it specifies the appropriate indication for the use of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists.
