The platelet aggregation inhibitor ticagrelor, a P2Y12 receptor antagonist, is widely used after angioplasty in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Clinical trial data have shown that it is well tolerated by most patients. We present the case of a 62-year-old woman whose ticagrelor-related asymptomatic and persistent sinus pauses after angioplasty resolved when ticagrelor was replaced with prasugrel.
