Comparison of Heart Rates in Patients Initiated on Ticagrelor Versus Other P2Y12 Inhibitors After an Inferior ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI).

Background: P2Y12 inhibitors have differing associations of bradyarrhythmias. Ticagrelor has been shown to increase adenosine plasma concentrations leading to increases in bradyarrhythmias. While clopidogrel and prasugrel have not been shown to have any association with bradyarrhythmias.
