Abstract:The etiology of cerebrovascular disease is heterogeneous, with the majority of strokes being of ischemic origin. Transient ischemic attack is now considered to be an important precursor and long-term risk factor for ischemic stroke. Given the lack of acute therapies for ischemic stroke, current treatments focus on secondary prevention through risk-factor management, pharmacotherapy and interventional approaches. As illustrated in this paper, antiplatelet agents (e.g. clopidogrel, aspirin, dipyridamole) are the cornerstone of therapy for prevention of recurrent ischemic stroke.
