Comparison Between the Incidence of Coronary No-Reflow in Patients with Acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction receiving ticagrelor versus clopidogrel loading doses
Abstract:Background
Primary PCI is the preferred reperfusion strategy for ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI); because it offers prompt and complete recanalization of an occluded infarct-related artery. However, inspite of successfully restored (Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction [TIMI] grade 3) epicardial blood flow, myocardial reperfusion is not regained in some patients. This phenomenon is referred to as coronary no reflow. Such patients with no reflow have higher incidence of res… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
