A 12-lead ECG was obtained after the participant rested in supine position for at least 10 minutes. The study physician was to judge the overall interpretation as normal or abnormal. If abnormal, it was decided as to whether or not the abnormality was clinically significant and the reason for the abnormality was recorded.

Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs).

An AE is the development of an undesirable medical condition or the deterioration of a pre-existing medical condition following or during exposure to a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered causally related to the product. The term AE is used generally to include any AE whether serious or non-serious. A serious AE (SAE) is an AE that fulfills one or more of the following criteria: results in death, is immediately life-threatening; requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions; is a congenital abnormality or birth defect; is an important medical event that may jeopardize the participant or may require medical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

Time frame: SAEs were recorded from the signing of informed consent and AEs were recorded from randomisation until the final follow-up visit.

Population: The safety analysis set included all participants who received at least one dose of ticagrelor and for whom any safety post-dose data were available.
