Relationship between clopidogrel responsiveness and CYP2C19 genotype by thromboelastography in patients with coronary heart disease after PCI
Abstract
Objective To explore the relationship between clopidogrel responsiveness and CYP2C19 gene polymorphism by thromboelastography(TEG) after PCI in patients with coronary heart disease, and its guiding significance for the use of clopidogrel after PCI. Methods A total of 246 patients who underwent PCI surgery in our hospital from June 2018 to May 2021 and routinely took clopidogrel maintenance treatment after the operation were selected.The platelet inhibition rate of the patients was detected by TEG to obtain their response to clopidogrel.The CYP2C19 genotype was detected, and the relationship between the patient′s responsiveness to clopidogrel and the CYP2C19 genotype was analyzed. Results The CYP2C19 genotypes in 246 patients were fast metabolizer (n=95), intermediate metabolizer (n=104) and slow metabolizer (n=47), with the mean ADP inhibition rate(%) at 46.27±21.41, 40.99±25.53 and 24.77±21.68, respectively.They were divided into clopidogrel resistant group (n=98) and clopidogrel normal response group (n=148). The three groups of patients with different CYP2C19 genotypes had no statistically significant differences in gender composition, age and platelet count (P>0.05), while significant differences in hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia(P0.05), but they were all lower than those with slow metabolism patients (both P0.5). Statistically significant difference was noticed in the low responsiveness to clopidogrel by different CYP2C19 genotypes (P<0.05). The drug responsiveness of clopidogrel measured by TEG had strong correlation with the patient′s CYP2C19 genotype.When the ADP inhibition rate was the best cut-off value (27.10%), the sensitivity and specificity of CYP2C19 genotype being diagnosed as the slow metabolite type, was 73.37% and 70.21%, respectively. Conclusion The response of clopidogrel after PCI in patients with coronary heart disease is associated with CYP2C19 genotype polymorphism.The use of TEG to detect the ADP inhibition rate of patients has strong predictive effect on CYP2C19 genotype and has guiding significance on antiplatelet therapy in patients with coronary heart disease after PCI.
