Impact of vomiting on P2Y12 platelet inhibition in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction: A prespecified subanalysis of the ON-TIME 3 trial

Am Heart J. 2022 Jan:243:39-42. doi: 10.1016/j.ahj.2021.08.011. Epub 2021 Sep 20.

Abstract

Vomiting is associated with lower levels of ticagrelor concentration and higher platelet reactivity in the early hours of ST-elevation myocardial infarction. These results support reloading with a ticagrelor loading dose and/or treatment with intravenous platelet inhibitors when patients vomit.
