Long-term ticagrelor for secondary prevention in patients with prior myocardial infarction and no history of coronary stenting: insights from PEGASUS-TIMI 54. 5.2% with placebo (HR 0.81, p = 0.008 p for interaction = 0.74)įurtado RH, Nicolau JC, Magnani G, et al. MI among those with prior coronary stent: 4.4% with ticagrelor vs.MI among those with no prior coronary stent: 4.8% with ticagrelor vs.Cardiovascular death, MI, or stroke among those with prior coronary stent: 7.0% with ticagrelor vs.Cardiovascular death, MI, or stroke among those with no prior coronary stent: 11.1% with ticagrelor vs.Ticagrelor was associated with an increase in major bleeding (HR 2.67, p < 0.0001), but not intracranial hemorrhage.Ĭoronary stent (n = 16,891) vs. Among these, ticagrelor was associated with a reduction in major adverse cardiac events (HR 0.82, p = 0.004) and coronary events (HR 0.76, p < 0.0001). Multivessel coronary disease: A total of 59.4% of patients had multivessel coronary artery disease.

placebo = 2.7, p 1 prior MI, multivessel disease, diabetes, renal dysfunction, age <75 years, and peripheral artery disease.
