Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains the standard of care. CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms cause variable clopidogrel bioactivation. Increased function (CYP2C19*17) allele carriers (rapid metabolizers [RM] or ultrarapid metabolizers [UM]) are clopidogrel hyper-responders, hence are more susceptible to clopidogrel-related bleeding. Since current guidelines...
