Guideline scope Early use of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and clopidogrel vs single-agent therapy after high-risk transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor ischemic stroke. Guideline development methods An international expert panel developed recommendations based on a systematic review ...
Risk factors associated with 90-day recurrent stroke in patients on dual antiplatelet therapy for minor stroke or high-risk TIA:a subgroup analysis of the CHANCE trial patientsAcuteanalysisObjective Many patients receiving dual antiplatelet therapy still had recurrent strokes.We aimed to identify factors...

a duration of 21 days (and possibly 10 days) was associated with a reduction in stroke recurrence among patients with minor stroke or TIA.5Recently, several guidelines recommend early, short-term dual antiplatelet therapy for minor stroke or high-risk TIA,9-11whereas others indicate it as an ...
We obtained information on sociodemographic (age, sex, household income, marital status, and employment status) and health-related variables (body mass index [BMI], perceived stress, the frequency of binge alcohol consumption, smoking status, medium-intensity physical activity, high risk for cardiovasc...
Multiple clinical trials have demonstrated that longer atrial high-rate episodes (AHREs) are associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), ischemic stroke, and adverse cardiovascular outcomes1,2,3,4,5. Therefore, the current European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines recommend...
Future studies must take into account the clinical and pathological heterogeneity of TIA and stroke, and must be powered to allow subtype differences in risk factor relationships and prognosis to be determined reliably. In many cases, this will require meta-analysis of detailed individual patient ...
They tested the new index experimentally under different contamination conditions and estimated the risk of the insulator using normal and probability distribution functions (PFD). Moreover, they studied the impacts on the degree of flashover occurrence probability and the flashover voltage gradient. ...
