This is a prospective, single-center study to assess the long- and short-term outcomes of ticagrelor vs clopidogrel in Chinese patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients will undergo face-to-face interviews, phone calls, or/and chart reviews at 7 days, 1 month, 6 months and 12 months. When 4500 patients have completed the follow-up, an interim analysis will be performed.

Composite incidence of vascular death, myocardial infarction and stroke
1. Vascular death was defined as death from cardiovascular causes or cerebrovascular causes and any unknown death unless there was another certain cause. 2. The definition of myocardial infarction was consistent with the Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction (1). 3. Stroke was defined as a rapid onset of a new focal loss of neurologic function caused by an ischemic central nervous system event with residual symptoms lasting at least 24 hours from their onset or leading to death.
Time frame: up to 12 months
Composite incidence of all-cause death, myocardial infarction and stroke
1. All-cause death was defined as any death at hospital or after discharge. 2. The definition of myocardial infarction was consistent with the Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction. 3. Stroke was defined as a rapid onset of a new focal loss of neurologic function caused by an ischemic central nervous system event with residual symptoms lasting at least 24 hours from their onset or leading to death.
Time frame: up to 12 months
Composite incidence of vascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, recurrent ischemia, transient ischemic attack, or other arterial thrombotic events

Stroke was defined as a rapid onset of a new focal loss of neurologic function caused by an ischemic central nervous system event with residual symptoms lasting at least 24 hours from their onset or leading to death.
