Article Synopsis
- - Short-term dual antiplatelet treatment (DAPT) shows better effectiveness compared to single antiplatelet treatment (SAPT) for preventing secondary strokes in patients with mild to moderate strokes and high-risk TIAs, according to a study of 2016 patients.
- - Patients treated with DAPT had a higher likelihood of regaining pre-stroke neurological function within 90 days and showed more early neurological improvement compared to those on SAPT.
- - The study suggests that DAPT might be a safer and more effective option than SAPT in real-world settings, even for patients not fitting the criteria of major clinical trials.
