Background: Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is the standard treatment for acute myocardial infarction (MI). This study aimed to investigate the use of DAPT and de-escalation after discharge in real-world practice among patients with acute MI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Taiwan.

Methods: Using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, we included patients who received PCI for acute MI and survived to discharge with DAPT from 2011 to 2021.

After coronary drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation, dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT, usually aspirin in combination with a P2Y12 inhibitor) is necessary. However, older patients are prone to aspirin intolerance or resistance. Indobufen has been reported as an ideal alternative to aspirin.

Article Synopsis
  • Antiplatelet therapy, particularly with P2Y receptor inhibitors alongside aspirin, is essential for treating coronary artery disease, and different medication options can help tailor patient care.
  • A study investigated the effects of a specific genetic mutation (G143E in CES1) on the effectiveness of clopidogrel and ticagrelor in inhibiting platelet aggregation in patients.
  • Results showed that the G143E mutation significantly affected platelet response to clopidogrel, but not to ticagrelor, indicating ticagrelor may provide more consistent treatment for patients with clopidogrel response-altering genetics.

Article Synopsis
  • Ticagrelor is a new and effective P2Y12 inhibitor used in managing patients with STEMI, showing advantages over the traditional drug clopidogrel in preventing blood clots after treatment.
  • *Key clinical trials, including TREAT and MIRTOS, demonstrate ticagrelor's superior ability to inhibit platelets without significantly increasing bleeding risks, suggesting it's a promising option.
  • *Despite its potential benefits, clopidogrel is still the recommended treatment, so more research is needed to better understand ticagrelor's long-term impacts and best usage in cardiovascular care.*

Background: Patients with atrial fibrillation and severe chronic kidney disease have higher risks of bleeding, thromboembolism, and mortality. However, optimal anticoagulant choice in these high-risk patients remains unclear.

Methods And Results: Using deidentified electronic health records from the Optum Labs Data Warehouse, adults with atrial fibrillation and severe chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate <30 mL/min per 1.
