Q: how common is plavix resistance? could this lead to increased stroke risk from diminished effect ? should doctor order screening to be sure its metabolized properly in body ? cyp2c19 genome ? also are platelet aggregation tests necessary ?

: It is not very common and the physician would be cognizant of it during treatment. Whether a doc orders tests screening or not depends on the clinical situation and her/his judgement
