Does platelet function testing to guide antiplatelet therapy improve outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome or those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention?

Population

Patients with acute coronary syndrome and patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

Intervention

Platelet function testing to guide antiplatelet therapy (P2Y12 inhibitors)

While routine platelet function testing remains uncertain, it may be useful to individualize antiplatelet therapy in high-risk patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
