Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Chewed ticagrelor

Swallowed ticagrelor

Arm Description

Ticagrelor pills. The 180 mg loading dose will be administered as soon as possible by investigation staff after a baseline VerifyNow measurement and after signed informed consent. Patients will be asked to chew, but not to swallow, during at least 40 seconds in presence of investigation staff. Drug: ticagrelor (Brilinta) 90 mg tablets, 2 tablets chewed

Ticagrelor integral tablet. The 180 mg loading dose will be administered as soon as possible by investigation staff after a baseline VerifyNow measurement is drawn. Patients will swallow the loading dose followed by 25-40 ml of water. Drug: ticagrelor (Brilinta) 90 mg tableta, 2 tablets swallowed

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Platelet reactivity
Platelet reactivity measured with VerifyNow (PRU)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Efficacy (MACCE)
Composite outcome: made by major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events: all-cause death, repeat myocardial revascularization, stroke, myocardial infarction
Composite outcome
Composite outcome: major bleeding, AND nonmajor clinically relevant (NMCR) bleeding both by ISTH definition
Efficacy (long term)
Composite outcome: number of participants with major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) (previously defined)
High platelet reactivity on treatment rate
Inhibition of platelet aggregation (IPA) measured by VerifyNow
