Summary

This study tests a new approach to blood thinners for people who have had a heart attack. The goal is to see if using a lower dose of the drug ticagrelor and stopping aspirin early can reduce the risk of dangerous bleeding while still preventing another heart attack or stroke. About 2,300 adults who had a heart attack and received a stent will be randomly assigned to either the new or standard treatment plan.
