This widespread resource needs to be strengthened, adequately trained and effectively utilized in the national health care delivery system for delivering an integrated and effective health care system.
Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted involving 200 adults in two different settings-a community setting (n=100), and a hospital setting (n=100).
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using genotype-guided antiplatelet therapy.
- Researchers analyzed salivary samples from patients to identify variations in the CYP2C19 gene, classifying them into normal, intermediate, or poor metabolizers before prescribing antiplatelet medication.
- Findings showed that the majority of patients were intermediate metabolizers and only a small percentage experienced MACE within six months, suggesting that genotype testing can effectively tailor treatment and reduce complications post-PCI.
