Thrombogenicity and endothelial progenitor cells function during Acute myocardial infarction - comparison of Prasugrel versus Ticagrelor
Background: Thrombin generation (TG), platelet function and circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have an important role in the pathophysiology of coronary artery disease (CAD). To date, the effect of novel P2Y 12 inhibitors on these aspects has mostly been studied in the sub-acute phase f...

Summary: | Background: Thrombin generation (TG), platelet function and circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have an important role in the pathophysiology of coronary artery disease (CAD). To date, the effect of novel P2Y

inhibitors on these aspects has mostly been studied in the sub-acute phase following myocardial infarction. Objectives: Comparing the effects of prasugrel and ticagrelor on TG and EPCs in the acute phase of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: STEMI patients were randomized to either ticagrelor or prasugrel treatment. TG, platelet reactivity and EPCs were evaluated prior to P2Y

inhibitor loading dose (T0), and one day following (T1). Results: Between December 2018 - July 2021, 83 consecutive STEMI patients were randomized to ticagrelor (N = 42) or prasugrel (N = 41) treatment. No differences were observed at T0 for all measurements. P2Y

reactivity units (PRU) at T1 did not differ as well (prasugrel 13.2 [5.5–20.8] vs. ticagrelor 15.8 [4.0-26.3], p = 0.40). At T1, prasugrel was a significantly more potent TG inhibitor, with longer lag time to TG initiation (7.7 ± 7.5 vs. 3.9 ± 2.1 min, p |
