Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> 1. The platelet function assessment measured in peripheral whole blood<br> 2. Functional assessment of Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor, arachidonic acid pathway, and thrombin related platelet activation will be measured using a multiple electrode analyser (MEA - Multiplate platelet function analysis)<br><br> Platelet function (measured in peripheral 'whole' blood, see above) will be assessed on arrival at hospital, at completion of the PPCI, 1, 2 and 24 hours after the completion of the PPCI. These measurements will allow the study to test how the profile of platelet function changes over the period of time in which the effect of bivalirudin wanes and prasugrel increases, by assessing the interaction between door-to-balloon time and time-after-completion of PPCI.<br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> Incidence of adverse clinical events at 24hours and 30days, including:<br> 1. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) - a composite of target vessel revascularisation, target lesion revascularisation, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and cardiac death<br> 2. Bleeding complications - using Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) major and minor bleeding criteria<br> 3. Stent thrombosis [Academic Research Consortium (ARC) definition]<br>
