Summary
This study looked at whether using a genetic test to choose blood thinners can reduce heart attacks, strokes, and death in people who have had a heart stent placed. About 4,000 adults with stable angina or acute coronary syndrome were given either clopidogrel or ticagrelor based on their CYP2C19 gene type. The goal was to see if personalized medicine can improve outcomes without increasing bleeding risks.
