Abstract
Overall management to lower risk for ischemic stroke is multifaceted. Management includes measures to treat risk factors for accelerated atherosclerosis and stroke, antithrombotic therapies to lower the risk for thromboembolism, and surgery to treat a defined arterial or cardiac lesion. Treatment decisions are made on a case-by-case basis, with most patients receiving some combination of medication and recommendations for lifestyle modification. Some patients will also undergo surgical or endovascular interventions. This article discusses antithrombotic treatment for ischemic stroke prevention, placing major emphasis on the indications for and administration of antiplatelet therapy.
