Why the study?
It remained unknown whether the elapsed time from stroke onset affects the relationship between CYP2C19 variants and recurrent cardiovascular events.

CYP2C19 variants may influence clopidogrel outcomes in chronic stroke; leaves open time-from-onset effects pending RCTs.
Do CYP2C19 variants affect the rate of composite cerebrocardiovascular events in non-acute stroke patients treated with clopidogrel?
CYP2C19 variants do not significantly affect the rate of cerebrocardiovascular events in the chronic phase of stroke among patients treated with clopidogrel, despite affecting platelet reactivity.
