EUROPEAN SOCIETY OF CARDIOLOGY GUIDELINES MANAGEMENT OF ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION ANTITHROMBOTIC THERAPY IN PRIMARY PCI Aspirin should be given to all patients with a STEMI as soon as possible after the diagnosis is deemed probable. It should be started at a dose of 150-325 mg in a chewable form (no enteric-coated) and an alternative approach is i.v. administration at a dose of 250-500 mg. CLASS I EVIDENCE B

EUROPEAN SOCIETY OF CARDIOLOGY GUIDELINES MANAGEMENT OF ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION ANTITHROMBOTIC THERAPY IN PRIMARY PCI Clopidogrel should be given as soon as possible to all patients with STEMI undergoing PCI at a loading dose of at least 300 mg, but a 600 mg loading dose achieves a more rapid and stronger inhibition of platelet aggregation. CLASS I EVIDENCE C

ESC/ EACTS Guidelines on myocardial revascularization 2010 Antithrombotic treatment options in myocardial revascularization STEMI ANTITHROMBOTIC THERAPY Dual antiplatelet therapy consists of aspirin 150-300mg per os or 250-500 mg bolus iv followed by 75-100 mg daily, and prasugrel 60 mg loading dose, followed by 10 mg daily, or ticagrelor 180 mg loading dose, followed by 90 mg twice daily, depending on drug availability. Clopidogrel 600 mg loading dose, followed by 75 mg daily should be used primarily if the more effective ADP receptor blockers are controindicated or unavailable.
