Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • LV remodeling index (%)

    Real time 3D-echocardiography data sets will be analyzed with available 4D-LV Analysis software (e.g. TomTec Imaging Systems, Unterschleisheim, Germany) in the core lab. Left ventricular (LV) remodeling index: a relative change in LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) seen at 6-month follow-up compared with the baseline during admission.

    Interval change between baseline and 6 months after the index events

  • NT-proBNP level at 6 months

    6 months after the index events

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Absolute change of LVESVI, LVEDVI and LVEF

    Interval change between baseline and 6 months after the index events

  • Prevalence of adverse LV remodeling

    Interval change between baseline and 6 months after the index events

  • Level of platelet reactivity

    At the time of PCI, 3 days and 1 month after the events

Other Outcomes (6)

  • Post-PCI angiographic perfusion indicators: TIMI flow grade, myocardial blush grade, corrected TIMI frame count

    Just after primary PCI

  • EKG change: ST-segment elevation resolution (%), complete ST-segment resolution

    Baseline, 60 minutes after the PCI.

  • Level of hs-CRP

    At the time of PCI, 1 month and 6 months after the events

  • +3 more other outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Ticagrelor and Clopidogrel.

EXPERIMENTAL

The patients assigned to the TICA group have loading dose of ticagrelor 180 mg just after the randomization, and then ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily during the study period. All patients also have aspirin 300 mg as a loading dose and 100 mg once daily as a maintenance dose.

Drug: Ticagrelor

Clopidogrel

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The patients assigned to the CLPD group have loading dose of clopidogrel 600 mg just after the randomization, and then clopidogrel 75 mg daily should be maintained during the study period. All patients also have aspirin 300 mg as a loading dose and 100 mg once daily as a maintenance dose.

Drug: Clopidogrel

Interventions

  • Fibrinolytic therapy.
  • History of hemorrhagic stroke.
  • Intracranial neoplasm, arteriovenous malformation, or aneurysm.
  • Ischemic stroke within 3 months prior to screening.
  • Platelet count \< 100,000/mm3 or hemoglobin \< 10 g/dL.
  • A need for oral anticoagulation therapy that cannot be safely discontinued for the duration of the study.
  • Women who are known to be pregnant, have given birth within the past 90 days, or are breast-feeding.
  • Unable to cooperate with protocol requirements and follow-up procedures.
  • A history of P2Y12 receptor inhibitor pretreatment (at least prior 1 month).
  • +2 more criteria
