Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the clinical efficacy of ticagrelor in patients who underwent emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and its impact on platelet aggregation rate. METHODS: ) for maintenance. Patients in both groups took 100 mg of aspirin. The major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) within one year, changes in LVEF and LVEDD, platelet aggregation rate and drug safety before PCI and at one week and 30 days after PCI were observed in these two groups. RESULTS: < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Compared with clopidogrel, ticagrelor decreases the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events in AMI patients who underwent emergency PCI, does better in improving the fluctuation level of LVEF and LVEDD, and strongly inhibits platelet aggregation. Some patients encountered adverse drug events, but drug withdrawal or medication change did not occur.
