Recommendations

As issued by the authors

  1. Evidence supports CYP2C19 genetic testing before oral P2Y12 inhibitors are prescribed in ACS or PCI

  2. Precision approach (LOF carriers: ticagrelor or prasugrel; noncarriers: clopidogrel) reduces ischaemic events without increasing bleeding risk, per recent trials and meta-analyses
