Comment Learning from TARDIS: time for more focused trials in stroke prevention
Antithrombotic therapy immediately following stroke is important to minimise the risk of recurrence, but the optimum choice and number of drugs to use are unclear, and efficacy in preventing thrombosis needs to be weighed against bleeding risk. In The Lancet, the TARDIS investigators report findings from a randomised trial1 that tested intensive antiplatelet therapy with three agents (aspirin, clopidogrel, and dipyridamole) against therapy based on current UK guidelines2 (either clopidogrel, or aspirin plus dipyridamole) for 30 days in patients with transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or ischaemic stroke.
