Brief Summary

Depression after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) but also at any time after CAD diagnosis, is highly associated with death, and it predicts mortality more than any other risk factor, comorbidity or follow-up events, suggesting that the standard medical therapy may not be sufficient to prevent the poor prognosis in these patients. This study aims to assess whether depression might affect the response to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) as recommended in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. Specific aims:

  • to evaluate whether depression affects the antithrombotic response during Aspirin (ASA) plus clopidogrel (CLP) therapy in CAD patients.
  • to assess the antithrombotic effects of ASA plus ticagrelor or prasugrel (TCG/PSG) therapy in CAD patients with depression by evaluating pro-thrombotic phenotype in CAD patients with and without depression during ASA+TCG/PSG.
  • to assess whether there is or not the reactivation of pro-thrombotic profile after cessation of dual antiplatelet therapy in CAD patients with or without depression in single antiplatelet therapy after TCG/PSG cessation.
