Objectives: To compare the effects of clopidogrel versus ticagrelor on atherosclerotic plaque inflammation using serial FDG PET/CT imaging of carotid artery and ascending aorta.
Hypothesis: Thrombosis and inflammation are tightly linked rather than separate entities. Therefore, P2Y12 receptor inhibitors may have an anti-ischemic effect by inhibiting plaque inflammation, and ticagrelor may be superior in efficacy to clopidogrel.

| change (follow-up minus baseline) in standardized FDG uptake value within the regions of interest | Analyses of FDG activity will be quantified on common carotid arteries and ascending aorta of the aortic arch. Primary endpoint is change (follow-up minus baseline) in standardized FDG uptake value within the regions of interest, known as a target-to-background ratio(blood-normalized standardized uptake value). | 6months |

| Serial changes of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein | 6months | |
| Serial changes of lipid battery | lipid battery (total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol). | 6months |
