Antiplatelet Strategies and Outcomes in Patients with Noncardioembolic Ischemic Stroke from a Real-World Study with a Five-Year Follow-Up
In conclusion, clopidogrel is suggested for patients with an ESRS >  3 and aspirin for patients with an ESRS ≤ 3 for the secondary prevention of noncardioembolic ischemic stroke in Chinese patients.

CYP2C19 Loss-of-Function Associated with First-Time Ischemic Stroke in Non-surgical Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis During Clopidogrel Therapy
This study measures effect ofCYP2C19 genotype on ischemic stroke risk during clopidogrel therapy for asymptomatic, extracranial carotid stenosis patients. Using deidentified electronic health records, patients were selected for retrospective cohort using administrative code for carotid stenosis, availability ofCYP2C19 genotype result, clopidogrel exposure, and established patient care. Patients with intracranial atherosclerosis, aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation, prior ischemic stroke, or observation time<1 month were excluded. Dual antiplatelet therapy patients were included. Patients with carotid endarterectomy or ...

Differences in ischemic and hemorrhagic recurrence rates among race‐ethnic groups in the PRoFESS secondary stroke prevention trial
ConclusionsWe found a significant difference in myocardial infarction and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage recurrence among different race‐ethnic groups. The risk of recurrent ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke was greater in Asians with high blood pressure.

Predicting major bleeding in patients with noncardioembolic stroke on antiplatelets: S2TOP-BLEED
Conclusions: The S2TOP-BLEED score can be used to estimate 3-year major bleeding risk in patients with a TIA or ischemic stroke who use antiplatelet agents, based on readily available characteristics. The discriminatory performance may be improved by identifying stronger predictors of major bleeding.

Proteinuria Predicts Resistance to Antiplatelet Therapy in Ischemic Stroke
AbstractThe occurrence of a stroke while on antiplatelet agents presents a therapeutic dilemma. One of the main causes for recurrent strokes is antiplatelet resistance more commonly known as high on treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR). Prior studies have established that proteinuria is associated with HTPR following myocardial infarction. Here, we investigated whether dipstick proteinuria correlates with HTPR in patients presenting with stroke. We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of 102 patients admitted for a recurrent ischemic stroke that had either a VerifyNow aspirin or VerifyNow clopidogrel laboratory test p...

Aspirin plus clopidogrel in acute minor ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack is superior to aspirin alone for stroke risk reduction: CHANCE trial
Commentary on: Wang Y, Wang Y, Zhao X, et al.. Clopidogrel with aspirin in acute minor stroke or transient ischemic attack. N Engl J Med 2013;369:11–19. Context Combination therapy with aspirin added to clopidogrel has had a disappointing record in the prevention of recurrent stroke. The management of atherothrombosis with clopidogrel in high-risk patients (MATCH)1 and the secondary prevention of small subcortical strokes (SPS3)2 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) showed that combination therapy was not more effective than clopidogrel or aspirin alone, but was associated with two to three times the risk of major or ...

Protocol for Cilostazol Stroke Prevention Study for Antiplatelet Combination (CSPS.com): a randomized, open‐label, parallel‐group trial
DiscussionThe CSPS.com is expected to provide evidence indicating whether secondary IS prevention in high‐risk patients can be improved by using DAPT involving cilostazol.

Predictors of Mortality in Patients With Lacunar Stroke in the Secondary Prevention of Small Subcortical Strokes Trial Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Unexpected interactions between assigned antiplatelet therapy and each of ischemic heart disease and normal/prehypertensive status accounted for increased mortality among patients with recent lacunar stroke given dual antiplatelet therapy. Despite extensive exploratory analyses, the mechanisms underlying these interactions are uncertain. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.SPS3ClinicalTrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00059306.

Platelet Count Predicts Adverse Clinical Outcomes After Ischemic Stroke or TIA: Subgroup Analysis of CNSR II
Conclusion: In ischemic stroke or TIA patients with platelet count within normal range, platelet count may be a qualified predictor for long-term recurrent stroke, mortality, and poor functional outcome. Introduction Platelets exert a critical role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic complications of cardio-cerebrovascular disease, contributing to thrombus formation, and embolism (1, 2). Previous literature reported that platelets of various size and density are produced by megakaryocytes of different size and stages of maturation in different clinical conditions, suggesting various platelet patterns in differen...

Stroke prevention.
Abstract Patients who have had a stroke are at high risk for recurrent stroke, myocardial infarction, and vascular death. Prevention of these events should be initiated promptly after stroke, because many recurrent events occur early, and should be tailored to the precise cause of stroke, which may require specific treatment. Lifestyle advice including abstinence from smoking, regular exercise, Mediterranean-style diet, and reduction of salt intake and alcohol consumption are recommended for all patients with stroke. For most patients with ischemic stroke or TIA, control of risk factors, including lowering blood p...

Comparison of Prasugrel and Clopidogrel in Thrombotic Stroke Patients with Risk Factors for Ischemic Stroke Recurrence: An Integrated Analysis of PRASTRO-I, PRASTRO-II, and PRASTRO-III
Conclusions: This integrated analysis supports the findings of PRASTRO-III. Prasugrel is a promising treatment that results in a numerical reduction in the composite incidence of ischemic stroke, MI, and death from other vascular causes in patients with ischemic stroke who are at a high risk of stroke recurrence. No major safety issues were observed for prasugrel.Cerebrovasc Dis

Recurrent Stroke was Associated with Poor Quality of Life in Patients with Transient Ischemic Attack or Minor Stroke: Finding from the CHANCE Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke recurrence was associated with poor HRQOL in patients with TIA or minor strokes. Interventions focusing on controlling risk factors and prevention of worsening of neurological function may prevent poor HRQOL in these patients. PMID: 25307297 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Closing the Loop: A 21-year Audit of Strategies for Preventing Stroke and Death Following Carotid Endarterectomy.
The objective of this review was to identify causes of stroke/death after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and to develop transferable strategies for preventing stroke/death after CEA, via an overview of a 21-year series of themed research and audit projects. Three preventive strategies were identified: (i) intra-operative transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound and completion angioscopy which virtually abolished intra-operative stroke, primarily through the removal of residual luminal thrombus prior to restoration of flow; (ii) dual antiplatelet therapy with a single 75-mg dose of clopidogrel the night before surgery in additio...
