Secondary prevention of stroke.
Stroke has been defined as a rapid onset of focal neurological deficit lasting more than 24 hours, with no apparent cause other than disruption of the blood supply to the brain (World Health Organization, 1989). A transient ischaemic attack (TIA) refers to a similar presentation that resolves within 24 hours (Hankey and Warlow, 1994). Approximately 15% of strokes are haemorrhagic, with the rest...
متن کاملPotential and failure of the ABCD2 score in stroke risk prediction after transient ischemic attack.
See related articles, pages 844–850 and 851–856. Patients with transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) are a heterogeneous group in terms of risk factors, symptomatology, underlying disorders, and prognosis.1 The importance of recognizing this common condition lies in the high risk of early stroke that TIAs carry (3.1% at 2 days, 5.2% at 7 days, 8.0% at 30 days, and 9.2% at 90 days).2,3 Recent eviden...
متن کاملJournal Club: early stroke risk and ABCD2 score performance in tissue vs time-defined TIA.
Jennifer E. Fugate, DO Alejandro A. Rabinstein, MD In this journal club article, we evaluate a study by Giles and colleagues1 that reports stroke risk in patients with classically defined TIA subcategorized by presence or absence of radiologic brain infarction. The concept of a TIA is evolving in parallel with better understanding of brain ischemia and insights gained from neuroimaging studies....
متن کاملAntiplatelets in Secondary Stroke Prevention
The aim of this review is to provide evidence-based recommendations on the secondary prevention of atherothrombotic ischemic stroke. Antiplatelets are the major therapy for the secondary stroke prevention. The most commonly used antiplatelets agents are aspirin, clopidogrel, and extended-release dipyridamole. A lot of progress had been made in last years regarding aspirin resistance and genotyp...
متن کاملUpdate of secondary stroke prevention.
Secondary prevention aims at preventing a stroke after a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or a recurrent stroke after a first stroke. About 80–85% of patients survive a first ischaemic stroke [1,2]. Of those, between 8 and 15% suffer a recurrent stroke in the first year. The risk of stroke recurrence is highest in the first few weeks and declines over time [3–5]. The risk of recurrence depends ...
