Association of Measured Platelet Reactivity with Changes in P2Y12 Receptor Inhibitor Therapy and Outcomes Following Myocardial Infarction: Insights into Routine Clinical Practice from the TRANSLATE-ACS Study

Conclusions Only one-third of PCI-treated MI patients with high on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity were switched to a more potent P2Y12 receptor inhibitor. Intensification of antiplatelet therapy was associated with lower risk of ischemic events at 1year among HPR patients.
