Brief summary
This is a single-center, randomized, single-blind, investigator-initiated, pharmacodynamic study with a parallel design. Patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction, undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention will be randomized after informed consent, in a 1:1 ratio to the following treatment groups: Group Α: Ticagrelor 180mg loading dose (LD), followed by a 90mg x2 maintenance dose (MD)starting 12±6 hours post LD, until Day 5 (5 days after randomization) Group Β: Prasugrel 60 mg LD followed by 10mg x1 MD starting 24 hours post LD, until Day 5 (5 days after randomization). Platelet reactivity assessment will be performed at randomization (Hour 0) and at 1, 2, 6, 24 hours after randomization, and on Day 5. Documentation of major adverse cardiac events (death, myocardial infarction, stroke, revascularization procedure with PCI or CABG)and serious adverse events (bleeding, other adverse events)will be performed until Day 5.

Exclusion criteria
* Pregnancy * Breastfeeding * Inability to give informed consent or high likelihood of being unavailable until the Day 5 * Prior PCI performed within 30 days prior to randomization * Cardiogenic shock * Major periprocedural complications (death, stent thrombosis, vessel perforation, arrhythmias requiring cardioversion, temporary pacemaker insertion or intravenous antiarrhythmic agents, respiratory failure requiring intubation, vascular injury (arteriovenous shunt, retroperitoneal bleeding), major bleeding (need for bood transfusion or drop in haemoglobin post-PCI by ≥ 5 gr/ dl or intracranial bleeding). * Unsuccessful PCI (residual stenosis \> 30% or flow \< ΤΙΜΙ 3) or planned staged PCI in the next 5 days after randomization * Requirement for oral anticoagulant prior to the Day 5 visit * Current or planned therapy with other thienopyridine class of ADP receptor inhibitors. * Known hypersensitivity to prasugrel or ticagrelor * History of gastrointestinal bleeding, genitourinary bleeding or other site abnormal bleeding within the previous 6 months. * Other bleeding diathesis, or considered by investigator to be at high risk for bleeding. * Any previous history of ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage or disease (neoplasm, arteriovenous malformation, aneurysm). * Thombocytopenia (\<100.000 / μL) at randomization * Anaemia (Hct \<30%) at randomization * Polycytaemia (Hct \> 52%) at randomization * Periprocedural IIb/IIIa inhibitors administration * Severe allergy to contrast agent, unfractionated heparin, enoxaparin or bivalirudin that cannot be adequately premedicated. * Recent (\< 6 weeks) major surgery or trauma, including GABG. * Subjects receiving daily treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors that cannot be discontinued for the duration of the study. * Concomitant oral or IV therapy with strong CY P3A inhibitors (ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, telithromycin, clarithromycin, nefazodone, ritonavir, saquinavir, nelfinavir, indinavir, atazana vir, grapefruit juice N1 L/d), CYP3A substrates with narrow therapeutic indices (cyclosporine, quinidine), or strong CYP3A inducers (rifampin /rifampicin, phenytoin, carbamazepine). * Increased risk of bradycardiac events. * Dialysis required. * Severe uncontrolled chronic obstructive pulmonary disease * Known severe hepatic impairement
