Ticagrelor-Associated Conduction Disorder: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 47-year-old female presented to emergency clinic due to non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). After receiving acetylsalicylic acid, a loading dose of ticagrelor 180 mg and intravenous unfractionated heparin, she underwent successful placement of drug eluting stent on the distal part of non-dominant left circumflex artery. The patient had no pre-existing atrioventricular (AV) block and did not use AV blocking agent. Approximately 10 h after taking a loading dose of ticagrelor, baseline normal rhythm degenerated to the first and then complete AV block, with mild dizziness. Following cessation of ticagrelor, cardiac rhythm returned to normal level within 2 days. The close monitoring of patients after starting ticagrelor is imperative, so ticagrelor may result in advanced conduction disorders. Here, we report a patient who developed various types of AV block associated with the ticagrelor taken during successful percutaneous coronary intervention for NSTEMI. We also reviewed the literature on the association between ticagrelor use and conduction abnormalities.
