Antiplatelet therapy for transient ischaemic attack and minor ischaemic stroke. Br J Hosp Med (Lond). 2020 Jun 02;81(6):1-3 Authors: Kalladka D, Rounis E Abstract Transient ischaemic attacks carry an increased risk of large ischaemic stroke in the 90 days after an event. Patients need to be seen within 24 hours in a dedicated clinic to start secondary prevention. This editorial reviews evidence for consideration of early dual antiplatelet therapy after a transient ischaemic attack. PMID: 32589536 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
