Abstract
Background Whether high platelet reactivity (HPR) at the time of angiography is associated with worse myocardial reperfusion after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is unknown. This study aimed to assess the impact of HPR on infarct size and reperfusion injury determined by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with STEMI undergoing PPCI. Methods Patients with STEMI undergoing PPCI and pretreated with a P2Y12-receptor antagonist (clopidogrel, prasugrel or ticagrelor) underwent platelet function testing at the time of angiography and a CMR from 7 to 10 days after the index event. Platelet function testing was performed with the VerifyNow assay. HPR was defined according to expert consensus definitions. Central core laboratorymasked analyses for quantified ventricular function,

Whether high platelet reactivity (HPR) at the time of angiography is associated with worse myocardial reperfusion after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is unknown
This study aimed to assess the impact of HPR on infarct size and reperfusion injury determined by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with STEMI undergoing PPCI
The intramyocardial hemorrhage was found in 2 patients: one with HPR, but receiving a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor in bailout, and one with non-HPR
