Advances include substantial improvements in high-throughput ...
متن کاملTicagrelor versus Aspirin in Acute Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack.
BACKGROUND Ticagrelor may be a more effective antiplatelet therapy than aspirin for the prevention of recurrent stroke and cardiovascular events in patients with acute cerebral ischemia. METHODS We conducted an international double-blind, controlled trial in 674 centers in 33 countries, in which 13,199 patients with a nonsevere ischemic stroke or high-risk transient ischemic attack who had no...
