Introduction
There are limited data on platelet reactivity and response to antiplatelet drugs in patients with cardiogenic shock. Aim: To assess platelet reactivity on dual antiplatelet therapy with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and ticagrelor, a novel potent P2Y12 receptor inhibitor, in patients with cardiogenic shock in the course of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who received invasive treatment.

Material and methods
We enrolled 12 consecutive patients with ACS complicated by cardiogenic shock. To assess response to antiplatelet therapy during cardiogenic shock, only patients with symptoms persisting for at least 3 days and who completed a 5-day follow-up were included in the study. Patients received a loading dose of ASA (300 mg) and ticagrelor (180 mg), followed by a maintenance dose (ASA, 1 × 75 mg; ticagrelor, 2 × 90 mg). Blood samples for platelet function tests were collected. Platelet aggregation was assessed with a Multiplate whole-blood impedance aggregometer. Arachidonic acid (AA), adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and thrombin receptor-activating peptide (TRAP) were used as aggregation agonists.

Results
Response to antiplatelet therapy assessed by aggregometry showed numerically higher on-ASA platelet reactivity on day one and statistically significant higher on-ticagrelor platelet reactivity on day one in comparison with following days. There were 2 patients with high on ASA platelet reactivity and 3 with high on ticagrelor platelet reactivity, but only on the day one.

Conclusions
Some patients with cardiogenic shock in the course of ACS treated invasively show a lower response to ASA and ticagrelor only on the first day after invasive treatment, with a good response on subsequent days.
