Genotype Guided Versus Conventional Approach in Selection of Oral P2Y12 Receptor Blocker in Chinese Patients Suffering From Acute Coronary Syndrome

"A platelet aggregation inhibitor. Also a P2Y12 Receptor Blocker of a drug class Thienopyridine.~Increasing evidence has shown that clopidogrel has wide inter-individual variability in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic actions which lead to suboptimal antiplatelet effect especially in Asian population.~A standard loading dose of 300mg or 600mg(according to clinical protocol) will be given to patients."

"A platelet aggregation inhibitor.~Though this agent has better anti-ischemic effects, it is associated with increased bleeding risk especially in Chinese patients whom are considered to be more prone to bleeding complications.~A loading dose of 180mg will be used."
