Abstract: AIM: To investigate the influence of CYP3A5 gene polymorphism on the anti-hypertensive efficacy of calcium channel blocker in patients with ischemic stroke and hypertension. METHODS: A total of 108 cases of ischemic stroke patients with hypertension were included and divided into experimental group and control group, and 54 cases in each group, the experimental group selected amlodipine tablets and levamlodipine tablets respectively according to the results of genetic testing, while the control group selected amlodipine tablets, which in order to investigate the antihypertensive efficacy of the two groups. RESULTS: The effective rate of experimental group and control group was 77.78%and 57.41%(P<0.05). In the experimental group, the antihypertensive effect of GG and AG genotype patients after taking amlodipine tablets was significantly higher than that of AA type patients, and GG type patients had a stronger antihypertensive effect than AG type patients after taking amlodipine tablets. CONCLUSION: CYP3A5 gene polymorphism is very important for blood pressure control by calcium channel blockers in patients with ischemic stroke and hypertension.
