Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria

1. Clinically diagnosed STEMI or NSTEMI* within the last 7 days at high risk of
ventricular remodeling

- Typical history of ischemic chest pain or angina equivalent symptoms (e.g. acute
onset dyspnea)

- Typical rise or fall of cardiac enzymes with at least one value of cardiac
troponin I=10 ug/L.

- ECG changes required for diagnosis of STEMI: =0.1mV ST segment elevation in two
or more contiguous limb leads or precordial leads or presence of Q waves =0.02
sec in two or more contiguous limb leads or precordial leads, or new onset left
bundle branch block (LBBB), *The definition of STEMI and NSTEMI follows the 3rd
universal definition of MI [19]

2. Pre-discharge NTproBNP =300 pg/mL for both STEMI and NSTEMI

3. Undergone PCI for the index event

4. Age >21 years and <85 years

Exclusion criteria

1. Hypersensitivity to ticagrelor, aspirin or any excipients

2. Active pathological bleeding

3. History of intracranial haemorrhage

4. Bacterial Infection within 6 weeks preceding the primary angioplasty, HIV, autoimmune
disease (e.g. SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma and Grave's disease, etc) or on
immunosuppressive therapy

5. Women of child-bearing potential, known to be pregnant, breast-feeding, or intend to
become pregnant during the study period

6. Malignancy within last 2 years

7. History of significant valvular heart disease (moderate or severe MS, MR, AS, AR, TR)

8. Planned CABG within the next 6 weeks

9. Unable to be weaned off inotropes or IABP

10. Active asthma or any other contraindications to beta-blockers

11. Arrhythmias precluding proper CMR image acquisition, such as atrial fibrillation and
frequent atrial or ventricular ectopy of > 1 in 5 intrinsic QRS complexes

12. Contraindications to cardiac magnetic resonance imaging including claustrophobia,
pacemaker or ICD implantation, mechanical valve or other metallic implants

13. Severe liver impairment due to chronic liver disease e.g. advanced alcoholic liver
cirrhosis or primary biliary cirrhosis

14. Significant renal impairment (eGFR <50ml min-1), end stage renal failure on renal
replacement therapy

15. Anaemia (Hb<10 g/dL).

16. Psychosocial barriers to telemedicine adoption (screening for education level,
dementia, substance abuse and other psychological disorders)

17. Participants who cannot be followed up

18. Participants not able or willing to consent for study.
