Platelet reactivity to adenosine diphosphate and CYP2C19 genotypes are linked with carotid plaques and may predict carotid plaque stability in acute ischemic stroke patients

Objectives: To determine the correlations of ADP-induced platelet-inhibition rate (ADP-PIR) and CYP2C19 genotypes with carotid plaque types in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Unstable carotid plaques are implicated in AIS. Clopidogrel (commonly prescribed in AIS)...
