Description
Summary:Dual antiplatelet therapy serves to improve the clinical results of thrombolytic therapy after STEMI, until recently consisted of acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel. In this category of patients, ticagrelor, widely used by acute coronary syndrome as more effective than clopidogrel, had no serious evidence of efficacy and safety. The TREAT study discussed in this article has been implemented to supply a gap in the evidence base of ticagrelor. The results of observation within 12 months after randomization to taking ticagrelor or clopidogrel of patients who received thrombolytic showed that the hemorrhagic safety regarding the major bleeding of ticagrelor is comparable with clopidogrel. The results of the TREAT study with the previously obtained results of the PLATO study make it possible to broaden indications for the use of ticagrelor (or switching from clopidogrel) in the first 24 hours from the onset of a myocardial infarction in patients who received thrombolytic therapy as an initial reperfusion.
