Risk of major adverse cardiovascular events of CYP2C19 loss-of-function genotype guided prasugrel/ticagrelor vs clopidogrel therapy for acute coronary syndrome patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: a meta-analysis.

Abstract excerpt

The most effective antiplatelet treatments for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients carrying CYP2C19 loss-of-function (LoF) alleles undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is still debating and conflicting.
