Off-label Discussion Disclosure
This educational activity may contain discussion of published
and/or investigational uses of agents that are not indicated
by the Food and Drug Administration. PCME does not
recommend the use of any agent outside of the labeled
indications. Please refer to the official prescribing information

Learning Objectives
• Identify high-risk ACS patients (high-risk NSTEMI, STEMI)
and promptly initiate suitable risk stratification and patient
management strategies
• Adopt and adhere to guidelines-based treatment strategies
for use of appropriate antiplatelet options to reduce the risk
of recurrent events
• Identify inefficiencies in discharge planning and patient
education on the necessity of drug adherence to improve
quality of care and long-term outcomes of high-risk ACS
patients
Pre-activity Survey
• Please take out the Pre-activity Survey from your packet
• Your answers are important to us and will be used to help
shape future CME activities
• It is important that you fill out the information at the top of
the form:

Pre-activity Survey Question 3
The choice between an initial conservative strategy or an
initial invasive strategy in patients diagnosed with NSTEACS is made largely on the basis of:
A. Risk of ischemic complications
B. Whether symptoms are typical or atypical
C. Whether the ECG is interpretable
D. Whether the patient can take a stress exercise test
E. All of the above
Pre-activity Survey Question 4
Compared to ACS patients who do not have diabetes, those
who have diabetes mellitus are at:
A. Greater risk of major cardiovascular events and similar
risk of major bleeding events
B. Greater risk of major cardiovascular events and greater
risk of major bleeding events
C. Similar risk of major cardiovascular events and greater
risk of major bleeding events
D. Similar risk of major cardiovascular events and similar risk
of major bleeding events
Pre-activity Survey Question 5
In STEMI patients, primary PCI is superior to fibrinolytic
therapy to reduce in-hospital mortality if PCI can be
performed within ___ hours after the onset time of infarction:
A. <1.5 hours
B. 3 hours
C. 6 hours
D. 12 hours
E. 24 hours
Pre-activity Survey Question 6
According to the GRACE registry, use of 5 or more
medications for secondary prevention of ACS can reduce
6-month mortality by:
A. Less than 20%
B. 20%-30%
C. 30%-40%
D. 40%-50%
E. More than 50%

higher risk

“Dynamic Risk Stratification” Tools
• History and physical
• Standard ECG and non-standard ECG leads
– 15-lead ECGs should perhaps become “standard” in all but very-low-risk patients
• Biomarkers
– CK-MB, troponins I and T, myoglobin
– High-sensitivity troponin
– Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)
• Non-invasive imaging
– Echocardiogram
– Stress testing
– Technetium-99m-sestamibi
• Invasive imaging
– Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA)
• Predictive indices/schemes
– Better as research tools than for real-time clinical decision-making

Early Invasive vs Initial Conservative Strategy
General Considerations in UA/NSTEMI
EARLY INVASIVE STRATEGY
GENERALLY PREFERRED
• Recurrent angina at rest or with low level
activities despite intensive medical therapy
• Elevated cardiac biomarkers (TnT or TnI)
• New or presumably new ST-depression
• Signs or symptoms of heart failure or new or
worsening mitral regurgitation
• High-risk findings from noninvasive testing
• Hemodynamic instability
• Sustained ventricular tachycardia
• PCI within 6 mo; prior CABG
• High risk score (e.g. GRACE, TIMI)
• Mild to moderate renal dysfunction
• Diabetes mellitus
• Reduced left ventricular function (LVEF <40%)
INITIAL CONSERVATIVE STRATEGY
GENERALLY PREFERRED OR REASONABLE
• Low risk score (e.g. GRACE, TIMI)
• Patient or physician preference in the absence of
high-risk features
CABG = coronary artery bypass graft surgery; GRACE = Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events;
LV = left ventricular; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention;
TIMI = Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction; TnI = troponin I; TnT = troponin T

Warning: Aspirin Dose and Ticagrelor Effectiveness
• Maintenance doses of aspirin > 100 mg reduce effectiveness of ticagrelor; should be avoided.
• After any initial dose, use with aspirin 75-100 mg per day.

Proof of concept: Higher Inhibition of Platelet

Differences between trials
1. Patient Population
TRITON: ACS undergoing PCI (indication only for ACS undergoing PCI)
PLATO: Full spectrum ACS (indication for ACS irrespective of management)
2. Pretreatment
TRITON: No pretreatment (except STEMI)
PLATO: Pretreatment
3. Clopidogrel Loading Dose
TRITON: 300mg
PLATO: 300-600mg
4. Duration of trial (median)
TRITON: 14.5 months
PLATO: 9 months
Novel P2Y12 Receptor Antagonists
Prasugrel
• Contraindicated: high-risk bleeding; prior TIA/stroke; hypersensitivity
• Precautions: elderly (>75y), low-weight (<60kg); CABG/surgery (7days).
Ticagrelor
• Contraindicated: high-risk bleeding; prior hemorrhagic stroke; severe
hepatic dysfunction; hypersensitivity
• Precautions: compliance (b.i.d. administration), drug interactions
(CYP 3A4 interfering agents); regional differences (North America/ASA
dose <100mg), COPD/asthma, bradyarythmia, gout syndromes,
CABG/surgery (5 days).

Regional Systems of STEMI Care, Reperfusion
Therapy, and Time-to-Treatment Goals
I IIaIIb III
Reperfusion therapy should be administered to all eligible patients
with STEMI with symptom onset within the prior 12 hours.
I IIaIIb III
Primary PCI is the recommended method of reperfusion when it can
be performed in a timely fashion by experienced operators.
I IIaIIb III
EMS transport directly to a PCI-capable hospital for primary PCI is
the recommended triage strategy for patients with STEMI with an
ideal FMC-to-device time system goal of 90 minutes or less.*
*The proposed time windows are system goals. For any individual patient, every effort
should be made to provide reperfusion therapy as rapidly as possible.

It is reasonable to use 81 mg of aspirin per day in
preference to higher maintenance doses after primary PCI.
I IIaIIb III
P2Y12 inhibitor therapy should be given for 1 year to patients
with STEMI who receive a stent (BMS or DES) during
primary PCI using the following maintenance doses:
• Clopidogrel 75 mg daily; or
• Prasugrel 10 mg daily; or
• Ticagrelor 90 mg twice a day*
*The recommended maintenance dose of aspirin to be used with ticagrelor is 81 mg daily.

• No medical records available
• He knows he had a CABG x 4 and last year underwent a
LHC for “chest pain” and he states that “the doctor said
that everything looks great and that all my vessels are OK
except for the one going to the back of my heart which has
a small blockage, but does not need a stent because
doesn’t look too bad”
Case Study: Test Results
• K+, 4.0; glucose, 165 mg/dL; creatinine, 1.2
• CBC: WBC, 10.1; Hct, 43; Plt, 320; Hb, 13.4

• Chest radiograph: Mild vascular congestion
• Symptoms and ECG changes resolve with nitroglycerin sl
• Patient is treated with aspirin 325mg loading dose and
enoxaparin 1mg/kg in the ED

• Increase clopidogrel dosing
(eg, 150 mg maintenance dosing)
• Adding agents that modulate
intraplatelet cAMP
(eg, triple therapy: ASA + clopidogrel + cilostazol)
• Using novel potent P2Y12 inhibitors
