Effectiveness of Lower Maintenance Dose of Ticagrelor Early After Myocardial Infarction (ELECTRA) Pilot Study

Summary

The ELECTRA pilot study is a randomized, open-label, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic trial designed to evaluate the effect of ticagrelor maintenance dose reduction on platelet inhibition in stable patients who recently underwent acute myocardial infarction and were treated with percutaneous coronary intervention.
