Background: High on-treatment platelet reactivity to adenosine diphosphate (HPR-ADP) may be a risk factor for ischemic events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We determined whether a cutpoint of HPR-ADP, similar to the INR used to guide anticoagulant therapy, could predict ischemic event occurrence after PCI. Methods : Post-procedural platelet reactivity to ADP was measured by conventional aggregometry in 352 consecutive patients undergoing non-emergent PCI followed for up to 2 years for post-discharge ischemic events. All patients had received clopidogrel and aspirin therapy at the time of aggregation measurements. Results: Eighty-two patients (23%) suffered ischemic events and had higher 5 and 20 μM ADP-induced aggregation compared to patients without ischemic events (46 ± 14% and 60 ± 13% versus 30 ± 17% and 43 ± 19%, respectively, p<0.0001 for both measurements). Using a combined receiver operator curve analysis, HPR-ADP cutpoints of 46% aggregation following 5μM ADP stimulation and 59% aggregation following 20μM ADP stimulation were associated with 63% and 74% of ischemic events, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression demonstrated significance between events and post-procedural HPR-ADP cutpoints (20μM ADP, OR=8.6, p<0.0001; and 5μM ADP, OR=2.9, p=0.01). Conclusions: High on-treatment platelet reactivity to ADP is an independent risk factor for ischemic events within 2 years of non-emergent PCI. These data are the first to support a therapeutic target for antiplatelet therapy based on an ex vivo platelet function test, similar to the INR used for anticoagulant therapy. The study is a step towards a personalized medicine approach to guide the intensity of antiplatelet therapy.

AbstractHigh on-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR) with P2Y12 receptor antagonists in patients treated with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is strongly associated with adverse ischemic events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This prospective study was conducted to assess individual platelet response and HPR to antiplatelet medications in post-PCI cases by thromboelastography platelet mapping (TEG-PM). Total 82 patients who were on aspirin and on either clopidogrel, prasugrel, or ticagrelor were evaluated. The percentage of platelet inhibition to arachidonic acid (AA) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) was calculated by [100-{(MA ADP/AA–MA Fibrin) / (MA Thrombin–MA Fibrin) × 100}], taking 50% response as cut-off for HPR. HPR to clopidogrel and prasugrel was 14.29 and 12.5%, respectively. No HPR was detected to aspirin and ticagrelor. The mean percentage of platelet inhibition was significantly higher in patients with ticagrelor 82.99, 95% confidence interval (CI) of [77.3, 88.7] as compared with clopidogrel 72.21, 95% CI of [65.3, 79.1] and prasugrel 64.2, 95% CI of [52.5, 75.9] (p-value of 0.041 and 0.003, respectively). Aspirin along with ticagrelor is associated with a higher mean percentage of platelet inhibition, and lower HPR as compared with the usage of aspirin combined with clopidogrel or prasugrel. Additionally, it might also be concluded that TEG-PM could be used effectively to measure the individual platelet functions which would make oral antiplatelet therapy more personalized for cardiac patients.

Dual antiplatelet therapy is the most important step in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treatment. The new generation of inhibitors of P2Y12 platelet receptors (prasugrel and ticagrelor) provide more pronounced platelet inhibition than clopidogrel. The drugs differ in pharmacodynamics and platelet reactivity tests due to different mechanisms of binding to P2Y12 receptors. The antiplatelet effect of prasugrel and ticagrelor provides clinical benefit and better prognosis in patients with various forms of ACS. In patients with ST-segment elevation ACS prasugrel and ticagrelor are preferred over clopi-dogrel due to their higher efficacy and better clinical outcomes, and currently have preferential positions in guidelines compared to clopidogrel. The comparison of prasugrel versus ticagrelor (ISAR-REACT 5 trial) demonstrated superiority of prasugrel over ticagrelor in patients with ST-segment elevation ACS, for whom an invasive evaluation is planned and in early invasive treatment non-ST-segment elevation ACS. The choice of a drug for dual antiplatelet therapy in various clinical situations remains controversial. The latest ESC guidelines on non-ST elevation ACS (2020) [1] demonstrate the possible preference for prasugrel in patients with ACS without ST-segment elevation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Current article demonstrates the results of recent clinical studies and the real clinical data regarding antiplatelet therapy in patients with coronary interventions. The indications for the use of P2Y12 platelet inhibitors in certain groups of patients are outlined. Treatment selection of the most effective and safe drugs in patients with ACS is highlighted according to the updated European guidelines.
