Abstract excerpt
AIMS: In clopidogrel-treated patients undergoing coronary stenting, high on-treatment platelet reactivity was linked to a higher risk of stent thrombosis (ST). Platelet response to clopidogrel is significantly influenced by genetic factors. Recently published findings showed a highly significant impact of a common polymorphism (Q192R) within the paraoxonase-1 (PON1) gene on clopidogrel treatment efficacy but no...
