“…Agreement among cardiologists was defined as either a >70% frequency of concordant responses relative to total respondents or following the Delphi method as developed by the RAND Corporation. An agreement was reached on the indication of ticagrelor as the first choice P2Y(12) inhibitor in MI patients, irrespective of the presentation [ST elevation MI (STEMI), 72%, vs. non-ST elevation MI (NSTEMI), 71%] or the management [invasive vs. conservative (75%)]. …”
