Eligibility Criteria:
INCLUSION CRITERIA
* Rest angina lasting at least 10 minutes that is highly suggestive of myocardial ischemia and is not explained by trauma or obvious abnormalities on chest x-ray, occurring within 24 hours of randomization;
* TIMI risk score greater than or equal to 4 (a qualitative test for CK-MB or Troponin may be utilized for screening purposes; however, a quantitative test must still be performed.)
EXCLUSION CRITERIA
* Increased bleeding risk as defined by any of the following:
* Ischemic stroke within the last year
* Any previous hemorrhagic stroke, intracranial tumor, or intracranial aneurysm
* Recent (\<1 month) trauma or major surgery (including bypass surgery)
* Active bleeding (other than minor skin abrasions)
* Impaired hemostasis including any one of the following:
* Known International Normalized Ratio (INR) \>1.5
* Past or present bleeding disorder (including congenital bleeding disorders such as von Willebrand's disease or hemophilia, acquired bleeding disorders, and unexplained clinically significant bleeding disorders)
* Known or history of thrombocytopenia (platelet count \<100,000/mL)
* History of thrombocytopenia with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor therapy, heparin, or enoxaparin
* Angina from a secondary cause such as:
* severe, uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure \>180 mm Hg despite treatment)
* anemia
* valvular disease
* congenital heart disease
* hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
* restrictive or constrictive cardiomyopathy
* thyrotoxicosis.
* Bundle branch block not known to be old in the context of angina.
* Undergone a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within the past 24 hours.
* A known allergy to heparin, low molecular weight heparin, pork or pork products.
* Any contraindications to treatment with UFH or LMWH.
* A recent (\<48 hours) or planned spinal/epidural anesthesia or puncture.
* Thrombolytic therapy within the preceding 24 hours.
* Any other clinically relevant serious diseases, including severe liver disease or renal failure \[creatinine clearance \<30 mL/min\], rendering implementation of the protocol or interpretation of the study results difficult.
* Treatment with other investigational agents or devices within the previous 30 days, planned use of investigational drugs or devices, or has previously enrolled in this trial.
* Inability to comply with the protocol (e.g., has uncooperative attitude, inability to return for follow-up visits).
* Inability to understand the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study or is otherwise unable to provide informed consent.
* A prosthetic heart valve
