  • Risk factors for narrowed blood vessels in the brain are the same as those that cause narrowing blood vessels in the heart and heart attack ( myocardial infarction ). (medicinenet.com)
  • Another rare cause of stroke is vasculitis , a condition in which the blood vessels become inflamed causing decreased blood flow to parts of the brain. (medicinenet.com)
  • Zontivity is used with aspirin and/or clopidogrel to lower your chance of having another serious problem with your heart or blood vessels, such as heart attack, stroke, or death. (mdtodate.com)
  • In APS, the immune system produces abnormal antibodies that rather than attacking bacteria and viruses, mistakenly attack proteins found on the outside of cells in the blood and blood vessels. (endinglines.com)
Inhibitors1
Sudden1
  • [ 1 ] MVP usually has a benign course, but it occasionally leads to serious complications, including clinically significant mitral regurgitation (MR), infective endocarditis, sudden cardiac death, and cerebrovascular ischemic events. (medscape.com)
Prevent a stroke3
Who've4
  • Stroke drugs can also be used to help prevent a second stroke in people who've already had one. (healthline.com)
  • It's often prescribed to people with artificial heart valves or irregular heartbeats or people who've had a heart attack or stroke. (healthline.com)
  • They're sometimes prescribed to people who've had ischemic strokes or heart attacks. (healthline.com)
  • Those who've had a stroke may not be able to use facial muscles or move an arm on one side. (homeopathydallas.com)
Events5
  • Newer antiplatelets currently are being clinically evaluated to assess their efficacy in reducing ischemic events without increasing the bleeding risk. (jabfm.org)
  • Dual antiplatelet therapy with a thienopyridine, most commonly clopidogrel, and aspirin is widely used in the management of ACS to prevent major adverse cardiovascular events. (survivornet.com)
  • The secondary aim was to assess the association between insensitivity to clopidogrel and recurrent cerebrovascular events. (bmj.com)
  • No significant associations were noted between clopidogrel resistance and recurrent ischaemic events. (bmj.com)
  • Antiplatelet drugs are effective at reducing recurrent events after ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA). (bmj.com)
Atherosclerotic1
  • Because of this, aspirin therapy isn't always the best option for people who have no prior history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (e.g., stroke and heart attack). (healthline.com)
Warfarin3
  • Two implantable devices used to occlude the appendage, the Watchman and the Amplatzer Cardiac Plug, appear to be as effective as warfarin in preventing stroke, but they are invasive. (aafp.org)
  • Hemorrhagic strokes may also occur when someone is taking blood thinners, such as dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban and warfarin (Coumadin) or has a bleeding disorder. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Oral anticoagulation has always been the first line treatment to prevent stroke, but it comes with considerable risks, The narrow therapeutic window of warfarin forces a delicate balance between lack of efficacy and a significantly elevated risk of bleeding, therefore requiring frequent blood tests.

Medications1
  • Your physician may require medications such as (but not limited to) aspirin and Clopidogrel™ † before and after treatment. (medtronic.com)
Arteries5
  • This helps reduce the risk of plaque and prevent ministrokes and heart attacks caused by clogged arteries. (healthline.com)
  • Ischemic strokes may also be caused by a sticky substance called plaque that can clog arteries. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Some people are born with large collateral arteries, which can protect them from strokes. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Small collateral arteries may be unable to pass enough blood to the affected area, so a stroke results. (msdmanuals.com)
  • The body can also protect itself against strokes by growing new arteries. (msdmanuals.com)
Type of stroke2
Complications2
Minor stroke1
Secondary1
  • Your doctor will probably have you take them on a regular basis for an extended period as a means of preventing secondary stroke or heart attack. (healthline.com)
Complication1
  • Stroke is a frequent complication of sickle cell disease. (ahdubai.com)
Assessment3
  • The CHADS 2 or CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score is recommended in the assessment of stroke risk. (aafp.org)
  • A TIA is a warning sign that you may be at risk of having a full stroke in the near future, and an assessment can help doctors determine the best way to reduce the chances of this happening. (wales.nhs.uk)
  • This situation also requires emergency assessment to try to minimize the risk of a future stroke. (medicinenet.com)
