ABSTRACT:

Introduction: Acute myocardial infarction is defined as partial acute necrosis of the myocardium caused by persistent and severe myocardial ischemia. Aims and objectives: The basic aim of the study is to analyse the aspirin in combination with clopidogrel in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction patients. Material and methods: This comparative study was conducted in Health department of Punjab during October 2018 to January 2019. The data was collected from 100 acute myocardial infarction patients. In this study we investigate the outcomes of aspirin in combination with clopidogrel. The data was divided into two groups. One group used only aspirin and one group was used aspirin in combination with clopidogrel. All the basic values of the patients were collected and analysed. Results: The data was collected from 100 patients. There was no thrombosis at the infarct site after coronary angiography in both groups. The total effective rate of the observation group and the control group was 89.4% and 81.8%, respectively with no significant difference. As regards re-thrombosis the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (1.5% vs. 12.1%). Conclusion: It is concluded that the treatment based on aspirin combined with clopidogrel has better clinical efficacy than aspirin alone.
