Genotype‐guided dual antiplatelet therapy in minor stroke or transient ischemic attack with metabolic syndrome: A post hoc analysis of CHANCE ‐2

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Secondary analysis of the CHANCE-2 randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

Among CYP2C19 LOF carriers with minor stroke or TIA, patients with MetS received more clinical benefit from TIC-ASA versus CLO-ASA compared to those with non-MetS. Registry:
