Objectives: Several studies have questioned the need for platelet function testing in patients treated with new ADP receptor blockers (ADPRB). The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) among acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients treated with newer ADPRB.
