Inclusion Criteria

- Consecutive patients with STEMI planned for primary PCI
- Deferred written informed consent within 4 hours after initial treatment
- Adult men and women aged at least 18 years
- Symptoms of acute MI of more than 30 min but less than 6 hours
- New persistent ST-segment elevation >= 1 mm in two or more contiguous ECG
leads

Exclusion Criteria

- Contraindication to prasugrel (e.g., hypersensitivity, active bleeding,
history of previous intracranial bleed, history of any CVA, including TIA,
moderate to severe hepatic impairment, GI bleed within the past 6 months, major
surgery within past 4 weeks)
- Patient who has received loading dose of Clopidogrel or ticagrelor for the
index event or are on chronic treatment of ticagrelor. However, patients on
maintenance dose clopidogrel for at least 7 days are included in the study. See
appendix A (patient on clopidogrel maintenance dose)
- Oral anticoagulation therapy that cannot be stopped (i.e. patients requiring
chronic therapy)
- Planned fibrinolytic treatment
- Patient requiring dialysis
- Known, clinically important thrombocytopenia
- Known clinically important anaemia
- Known pregnancy or lactation
- Need for a concomitant systemic therapy with strong inhibitors or strong
inducers of CYP3A
- Condition which may either put the patient at risk or influence the result of
the study (e.g., cardiogenic shock or severe hemodynamic instability, active
cancer, risk for non-compliance, risk for being lost to follow up)
- Patient unable to swallow oral medication (i.e. intubated patients)
