Stroke: a new CHANCE for combination antiplatelet therapy?

Hans-Christoph Diener et al. Nat Rev Neurol. 2013 Oct.

Abstract

Patients with transient ischaemic attack or minor ischaemic stroke have a high risk of early recurrence. A new study in Chinese patients suggests that this risk is reduced following treatment with clopidogrel plus aspirin compared with aspirin alone. However, whether the findings can be extrapolated to other populations remains unclear.
