Solid squares = patients with stable angina (SA); open squares = patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI); solid circles = abciximab subgroup; open circles = single high-dose bolus (SHDB) tirofiban subgroup. CADP = cartridge adenosine diphosphate closure time; T0 = baseline; T1 = 10 min after glycoprotein IIb/IIIa bolus; T2 = discharge.

Lower TIMI flow at first angiogram was associated with higher platelet reactivity (PR). CADP-CT was 73 ± 11 in the TIMI flow grade 0/1 group versus 87 ± 8 in the TIMI flow grade 2/3 group (p < 0.001), and % platelet aggregation was, respectively, 91 ± 4 versus 85 ± 3 (p < 0.001). CADP-CT was 75 ± 11 in the TIMI flow grade 0/1/2 group versus 89 ± 6 in the TIMI flow grade 3 group (p = 0.03), and %PA was, respectively, 90 ± 4 versus 84 ± 2 (p = 0.01).

Solid circles = patients that not reached the composite end point; open circles = patients that reached the composite end point. MI = myocardial infarction; TVR = target vessel revascularization.

High platelet reactivity = CADP-CT at entry below the median value. Low platelet reactivity = CADP-CT at entry above the median value. Median value of CADP-CT is 75 s.
