BACKGROUND: Stroke is a feared vascular event among healthy people and those with cardiovascular disease, and holds a leading position as a cause of disability and death worldwide. Antiplatelet therapy is central in the management of patients with ischemic nonembolic stroke and transient ischemic attacks.
METHODS: In this narrative review, we provide an overview and update of evidence regarding antiplatelet treatment in the primary and secondary prevention of stroke.
RESULTS: Aspirin, clopidogrel and aspirin plus dipyridamole are the mainstays of antiplatelet treatment post-stroke, while promising agents include triflusal, cilostazol and ticagrelor. Available data are in favor of dual antiplatelet treatment in the early treatment of atherosclerotic large vessel disease. Long-term dual antiplatelet treatment should be individualized keeping in mind the higher rates of bleeding complications.
CONCLUSION: Treatment with an antiplatelet agent is recommended to reduce recurrent stroke and death in patients with a non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack. Moreover, clinicians should carefully assess the pros and cons in each case and individualize the need for prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy.
