Use of prasugrel vs clopidogrel and outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention in contemporary clinical practice: Results from the PROMETHEUS study
Conclusions In contemporary clinical practice, patients receiving prasugrel tend to have a lower-risk profile compared with those receiving clopidogrel. The lower ischemic and bleeding events associated with prasugrel use were no longer evident after accounting for these baseline differences.

Rationale and Design of the On‐Treatment PLAtelet Reactivity‐Guided Therapy Modification FOR ST‐Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (PLATFORM) Randomized Trial
ConclusionPLATFORM will determine whether the platelet reactivity‐guided use of ticagrelor in combination with 200 mg aspirin, compared with standard antiplatelet regimen, improves clinical outcome in moderate to high‐risk STEMI patients undergoing PPCI.
