Impact of Clopidogrel Loading Dose in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Outcome Comparison of 600 mg versus 300 mg Loading dose of Clopidogrel for Patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Meta-Analysis

“…One study was excluded due to lack of subgroup analysis for STEMI patients, 7 and 3 were excluded as they used the same data as other included studies. [8][9][10] Nine studies, published between 2009 and 2012, were included in the final analysis [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] ( Figure 1 and Table 1). These studies included a total of 18 623 patients, 9231 in the 600-mg group and 9392 in the 300-mg group.…”

The scientific achievements of the decades in Korean Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry

“…Data in the KAMIR revealed that the standard loading dose clopidogrel group had similar clinical results compared with the double loading dose group before PCI [38,39]. Low-molecular-weight heparin was associated with a better clinical outcome than unfractionated heparin in patients with AMI [40,41,42].…”
