Prolonged Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients without Revascularization: China Acute Myocardial Infarction (CAMI) Registry Study

At least 12-month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is one of the standards of care following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, study on prolonged DAPT for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients without revascularization is limited. We studied 1744 AMI patients without revascularization from the China Acute Myocardial Infarction registry between January 2013 and September 2014. These patients were on DAPT and did not experience AMI, stroke, or bleeding events at 12-month follow-up.
