Summary

This study tests a fast genetic test in the hospital to see if it helps doctors pick the best blood thinner for stroke patients. Some people's DNA makes a common drug, clopidogrel, less effective. The test checks for these genetic differences so doctors can choose a different medicine to lower the risk of another stroke. About 350 adults who recently had a stroke will take part.
