CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles were associated with higher cardiac death on clopidogrel post-PCI; leaves open whether genotyping improves outcomes with contemporary stents.
Do CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles increase the risk of adverse clinical outcomes in patients receiving clopidogrel after PCI with newer-generation drug-eluting stents?
CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles significantly increase the risk of cardiac death and stent thrombosis in patients treated with clopidogrel after PCI, even in the era of newer-generation drug-eluting stents.
