Gene test could predict heart attack and stroke risk

This study examines whether a common gene variation (CYP2C19) influences the long-term risk of serious heart and blood vessel events, such as heart attacks, strokes, and limb problems, in people with vascular disease. Researchers will analyze genetic and health data from 13,000 patients at the University of Florida. The goal is to better understand how genetics affect treatment outcomes, not to test a new treatment.
