Abstract:Objective To explore the application of Ticagrelor combined with percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in patients with coronary heart disease complicated with atrial fibrillation.Methods Seventy patients with coronary heart disease complicated with atrial fibrillation admitted to Chancheng District Central Hospital of Foshan City from January 2019 to June 2020 were selected as the research objects.According to the random number table method,they were divided into an observation group and a control group,with 35 cases in each group.Both groups were treated with PCI surgery.The control group was treated with Clopidogrel Bisulfate,and the observation group was treated with Ticagrelor.The course of treatment for both groups was one month.The changes of serum index levels,platelet levels and atrial fibrillation episodes before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results Before treatment,there were no significant differences in serum indexes levels between the two groups(P>0.05).The levels of hypersensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),creatine kinase isoenzyme(CK-MB),myoglobin and B-type brain natriuretic peptide(BNP)after treatment in the two group were lower than those before treatment,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).After treatment,the levels of hs-CRP,CK-MB,myoglobin and BNP in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in the levels of maximum platelet aggregation rate(MPA)or platelet response index(PRI)between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05).The MPA levels of the two groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The PRI level of the observation group after treatment was higher than that before treatment,with statistically significant difference(P<0.05).After treatment,MPA level in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,and PRI level was higher than that in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).After six months of treatment,the observation group had fewer episodes of atrial fibrillation than the control group,the duration of episodes was shorter than that of the control group,and the ST-segment depression during the episode was lower than that of the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion Ticagrelor combined with PCI in the treatment of coronary heart disease complicated with atrial fibrillation can effectively improve the patients′ serum levels,and has a significant anticoagulant effect,which helps to reduce the formation of thrombosis.
