Abstract

Ticagrelor, when compared with clopidogrel, reduced the 12-month risk of vascular death/myocardial infarction and stroke in patients with ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes intended to undergo primary percutaneous coronary intervention in the PLATelet inhibition and patient Outcomes (PLATO) trial. This prespecified ECG substudy explored whether ticagrelor's association with vascular death and myocardial infarction within 1 year would be amplified by (1) the extent of baseline ST shift and (2) subsequently associated with fewer residual ST changes at hospital discharge.
