Real-World Implementation of a Genotype-Guided P2Y12 Inhibitor De-Escalation Strategy in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients

JACC Cardiovasc IntervPublished Registry-based cohort study

Authors' conclusion

The implementation of a CYP2C19 genotype-guided P2Y12 inhibitor de-escalation strategy in a real-world ACS population resulted in lower bleeding rates without an increase in ischemic events compared to a standard DAPT regimen.
