In the present study, we demonstrated that among patients on DAPT with ASA and ticagrelor after PCI for ACS, lower Hb levels are independently associated with a higher rate of HRPR and an increased rate of major ischemic events, and especially for recurrent ACS, although with no impact on survival. Neutral prognostic effect of HRPR was observed across Hb tertiles.
