Stone et. al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2012; 60: 1975-1984 Primary angioplasty has proven effective in restoring epicardial flow but myocardial perfusion is often suboptimal. One of the main mechanisms is distal<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2012/11/19/n-3781/" title="Read more" >...</a>

In patients with stroke history, Ticagrelor is superior to Clopidogrel

James SK, Storey RF, Khurmi N, et al. Ticagrelor versus Clopidogrel in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes and a History of Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack. Circulation 2012. A sub-analysis of the PLATO study demonstrated similar superiority and the safety of ticagrelor in all patients, regardless of any previous history of stroke.
