- Abstract
There is a paucity of data regarding the early effectiveness of the proposed 600 mg clopidogrel loading dose (LD) on platelet reactivity (PR) in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. If high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) is present, prasugrel reloading and subsequent maintenance dose (MD), might offer faster and stronger platelet inhibition than high clopidogrel MD.
