Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Genetic C3435T polymorphism of the multidrug resistance gene-1 (MDR-1) limits oral bioavailability of clopidogrel and influences prognosis in patients with myocardial infarction.
AIM:To assess the effects of C3435T polymorphism on platelet reactivity and prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndromes treated with percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting.
METHODS:Ninety-eight patients were divided into subgroups according to closure time (CT) measured with the Platelet Function Analyzer-100 by means of collagen/adenosine diphosphate (CADP) and collagen/epinephrine (CEPI) cartridges. Patients with CADP-CT<130 s and patients with CEPI-CT journal_name journal_title authors subject pub_date pages issue eissn issn pii journal_volume pub_type
