Abstract: The treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with ticagrelor and clopidogrel has been widely discussed due to differences in efficacy, safety, and clinical applicability. Ticagrelor has shown superiority in preventing adverse cardiovascular events, especially in the early post-AMI treatment phase. However, the increased risk of bleeding may limit its use in patients with a high hemorrhagic risk. Strategies such as de-escalation to clopidogrel can reduce complications without compromising antiplatelet efficacy. Pharmacogenetics and body mass index (BMI) also influence treatment response, requiring a personalized approach. The higher cost of ticagrelor is a barrier to its widespread use, but studies suggest that its efficacy may justify this investment. Therapeutic decision-making should be based on an individualized patient assessment, balancing benefits and risks to optimize clinical outcomes in antiplatelet therapy.
