AIMS: CYP3A4-metabolized statins can influence the pharmacodynamic effect of clopidogrel. We sought to assess the impact of switching to a non-CYP3A4-metabolized statin on platelet function among patients receiving clopidogrel and atorvastatin with high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR). METHODS AND RESULTS: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-treated patients (n= 50) with HPR [20 μM adenosine...
