One Year after CAPRIE, IST and ESPS 2

Abstract: The IST, CAPRIE and ESPS-2 have shown that large collaborative randomised trials can be conducted in stroke medicine and can provide statistically and clinically significant results. They, and other concurrent studies, have highlighted the potential hazards of early anticoagulation, and the effectiveness and safety of early (and continuous) antiplatelet therapy in limiting early stroke recurrence and its consequences. In addition, they have shown that antiplatelet agents with differing mechanisms of action can… Show more

“…Antiplatelet agents, including aspirin, ticlopidine, clopidogrel, and extended-release dipyridamole and aspirin have proved valuable in the secondary prevention of ischemic stroke. [15][16][17] Also, randomized trial evidence supports secondary prevention strategies for the treatment of hypertension, 18,19 hyperlipidemia, 20,21 symptomatic carotid disease, 22 and atrial fibrillation, 14,23 as well as use of coordinated acute stroke units. 24 Observational data suggest that control of diabetes 13 and smoking cessation reduce the risk of second stroke or cardiac disease.…”

“…Aspirin in combination with dipyridamole may be more effective than aspirin alone, by about 15% (range 4–26%), 19,31 but further trials (e.g. ESPRIT) are in progress.…”

“…In dieser so genannten FISS oder Hongkong-Studie wurde unter Nadroparin eine 31 % relative Risikoreduktion für Tod oder schwere Behinderung nach 6 Monaten gefunden (45 vs. 65 %, Nadroparin vs. Plazebo). Die Daten wurden allerdings durch die wenig vergleichbaren Gruppen (mehr schwere Schlaganfälle in der Plazebogruppe) allgemein als nicht verlässlich empfunden [18,19]. Auûerdem ist die Patientenpopulation nach heutigen Kenntnissen viel zu klein.…”
