Clopidogrel resistance rates should not alter prescribing in North Indian CAD patients; leaves open multifactorial etiology beyond P2Y1/P2Y12 polymorphisms.
Is clopidogrel resistance associated with P2Y1 and P2Y12 gene polymorphisms in North Indian patients with coronary artery disease?
Clopidogrel resistance is present in a significant minority of North Indian CAD patients but is not driven by single-gene polymorphisms of the P2Y1 and P2Y12 receptors, suggesting a multifactorial etiology.
