Abstract. Improving of modern technologies for curation of patients with cardiovascular pathology, in particular use of antiplatelet agents, anticoagulants and their combinations, has made it possible to achieve a significant increase in life expectancy of the population. However, along with positive trends, taking antithrombotic and anticoagulant drugs is associated with an increased risk of damage of upper digestive tract mucous membrane, including formation of erosive and ulcerative defects and bleeding. Current review was prepared to systematize data on risk factors for the development of drug-induced gastropathy associated with use of antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants, about its main manifestations, including clinical, endoscopic and histological stigmas.
