In the weeks and months after a patient gets a heart stent, blood clots can pose a major threat to recovery. Now, University of Florida Health researchers have found that a quick genetic test can tell doctors early on whether a crucial anti-clotting drug will work, they reported today (Nov. 9) at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions in Orlando.

We evaluated the clinical acceptance and feasibility of a pharmacist-guided personalized consult service following its transition from a mandatory (mPGx) to optional (oPGx) CYP2C9/VKORC1/CYP4F2 genotyping for warfarin.
Genetic polymorphisms in ADRB2 and ADRB1 are associated with differential survival in heart failure patients taking β-blockers
The Pharmacogenomics JournalLeonardo A. Guerra, et al.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with differential beta-blocker (BB) effects on heart rate, blood pressure, and left ventricular ejection fraction in various patient populations. This study aimed to determine if SNPs previously associated with BB response are also associated with differential survival in heart failure (HF) patients receiving BBs.
