THE EFFECT OF CANGRELOR VERSUS TICAGRELOR ON PLATELET ACTIVITY, CORONARY MICRO-CIRCULAR FUNCTION AND INFARCT SIZE IN PATIENTS SUFFERING ACUTE ST-SEGMENT ELEVATION MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION TREATED WITH PRIMARY PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL

Background Despite advances in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treatment, a sizeable minority of patients suffer poor outcomes even when treated with timely primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Despite this early more potent antiplatelet effect, no difference was see...

Summary:Background Despite advances in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treatment, a sizeable minority of patients suffer poor outcomes even when treated with timely primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Despite this early more potent antiplatelet effect, no difference was seen in terms of IMR, ST-segment resolution, and angiographic measures of improved reperfusion or final infarct size.
