November 30, 2011 – In a report from the American Heart Association (AHA), a platelet inhibitor administered 2 ways is found to help heart attack patients. If a heart attack has left you disabled, then you may be entitled to benefits.
New research has shown that whether a platelet inhibitor is given intravenously or directly into the coronary artery that is blocked, both are effective means of reducing the threat of death.
Patients in the study had suffered a STEMI (ST-elevation myocardial infarction), which often leads to the necessity of angioplasty with stenting. Research was done to see if either method of delivering a platelet inhibitor was more effective than the other in reducing death.
Not only was there no real difference found between the 2 methods but researchers also found the administration of a platelet inhibitor to be safe. There were no significant risks of excessive bleeding or other complications.

You may find it necessary to seek legal counsel. A Missouri disability attorney can evaluate your case to determine if you qualify and assist you throughout the entire claims process.
