Effects of intravenous lysine acetylsalicylate versus oral aspirin on platelet responsiveness in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: the ECCLIPSE-STEMI trial.

ABSTRACT: Prasugrel and ticagrelor, new P2Y12-ADP receptor antagonists, are associated with greater pharmacodynamic inhibition and reduction of cardiovascular events in patients with an acute coronary syndrome. However, evidence is lacked about the effects of achieving faster and stronger cyclooxygenase inhibition with intravenous lysine acetylsalicylate (LA) compared to oral aspirin. Recently, we demonstrated in healthy volunteers that the administration of intravenous LA resulted in a significantly reduction of platelet reactivity compared to oral aspirin. Loading dose of LA achieves platelet inhibition faster, and with less variability than aspirin. However, there are no data of this issue in patients with an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This is a prospective, randomized, m
