Published: January 2025

Ticagrelor, a P2Y receptor antagonist, has been demonstrated to induce dyspnea, which is not associated with cardiac or pulmonary alterations, or metabolic disturbances. The attribution of ticagrelor-related dyspnea to excess adenosine has been widely proposed, yet is not supported by experimental data. In this paper, we put forth a novel hypothesis that the hyperactivity of the retrotrapezoid nucleus, a group of ventral medullary neurons involved in respiratory modulation, is the underlying cause of ticagrelor-related dyspnea. This hypothesis offers a theoretical resolution to the discrepancies and controversies present in previous theories.

Background: Ticagrelor is a commonly used antiplatelet agent, but due to the stringent criteria for trial population inclusion and the limited sample size, its safety profile has not been fully elucidated.

Method: We utilized OpenVigil 2.1 to query the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database and retrieved reports by the generic name "ticagrelor" published between 1 October 2010 and 31 March 2023.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of genetic polymorphism and renal function on the occurrence of ticagrelor-related dyspnea.

Patients And Methods: A total of 299 patients with acute with type 1, 2, or 3 myocardial infarction (with and without ST-segment elevation), who underwent coronary angiography and PTCA with stent implantation and were treated with antiplatelet drugs (ticagrelor and aspirin), were enrolled in this prospective study. For all enrolled patient's platelet aggregation (induction with high-sensitivity adenosine diphosphate, ADP HS) testing was performed using a MULTIPLATE analyzer.

Background: Ticagrelor is a frequently prescribed platelet aggregation inhibitor used in patients with acute coronary syndrome. A rare side effect is severe dyspnoea.

Case Description: A 76 year old woman experiences severe shortness of breath three weeks after percutaneous coronary intervention because of acute myocardial infarction.
