Cilostazol improves endothelial function in patients with ischemic stroke: A randomized controlled single-center study with flow-mediated dilation technique
Recent CSPS.com study has shown the benefit of adding cilostazol on aspirin or clopidogrel for secondary stroke prevention [1]. Because a pleiotropic effect other than its anti-platelet effect such as vasodilatation and anti-atherosclerosis effect may underlie the effect [1], we examined the effects of adding cilostazol on clopidogrel on endothelial function in flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) technique.
