Background: This study aims to estimate prognostic indicators of new onset atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) through 3 to 5 years of follow-up.
Hypothesis: For patients with ACS, some prognostic indicators can be used to predict new onset AF.
Methods: The Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in China-ACS (CCC-ACS) program was launched in 2014 by a collaborative initiative of the American Heart Association and Chinese Society of Cardiology.
Effect of ticagrelor versus prasugrel on platelet reactivity: a meta-analysis.
Coron Artery Dis
November 2017
Background And Objective: Whether ticagrelor is superior to prasugrel in inhibiting platelet reactivity (PR) has remained unclear, possibly because different test methods have been used to determine this. Therefore, using a different test method, we performed a meta-analysis comparing the effects of ticagrelor and prasugrel on PR.
Methods And Results: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched - without language restrictions (last updated on 26 February 2017) - for randomized trials comparing the effects of prasugrel with those of ticagrelor in patients with coronary artery disease.
