Pharmacogenomics of Clopidogrel Resistance in Acute Coronary Syndromes: Practical Implementation of CYP2C19 Genotype-Guided Antiplatelet Therapy

Abstract

Evidence-based synthesis and decision pathways for implementing point-of-care and laboratory CYP2C19 genotype testing to optimize antiplatelet selection in post-PCI patients.

Abstract

Variable response to clopidogrel due to CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles represents a well-documented risk factor for stent thrombosis and major adverse cardiovascular events. This clinical review evaluates evidence from randomized trials and guideline recommendations for genotype-guided escalation to ticagrelor or prasugrel in contemporary cardiology practice.
