Background: The preventive effects of laboratory personalized antiplatelet therapy (PAPT) strategy including genetic detection and platelet function testing (PFT) on major adverse cardiac events (MACEs (RR 0.60, p = 0.008) and myocardial infarctions (RR 0.43, p = 0.02) compared to the non-PAPT group. No statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups regarding cardiovascular death (RR 0.77, p = 0.21), bleeding events (RR 0.96, p = 0.59) and ischemic stroke (RR 0.81; p = 0.57). The preventive effect on MACEs was more significant in patients with high on-treatment platelet reactivity (RR 0.46; p = 0.006). Conclusions: Coronary artery disease patients after stenting could obtain benefits from laboratory PAPT. (Cardiol J 2018; 25, 1: 128-141)
