Dabigatran etexilate: management in acute ischemic stroke.
Abstract A 54-year-old man treated with dabigatran experienced new onset of a stroke with a score of 9 on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale.

Indications and Evidence for Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Acute Ischemic Stroke
The antiplatelet landscape for the secondary prevention of ischemic stroke has changed significantly over the past decade.

An aspirin a day …Does that make sense?
We all are familiar with the saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” but we are more likely to take an aspirin (ASA) a day. Nearly 40% of US adults older than 50 years of age use aspirin for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) (prevention of first MI or stroke) or for secondary prevention of CVD (preventio n of recurrence of MI or stroke).1 In this column I'll look at the daily use of ASA and will summarize the most current thoughts and recommendations.
