Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the USA and UK. It is a major cause of disability among adults and is a significant factor in dementia in later life and its incidence is on the rise. This book discusses specific medications that target the blood and vasculature and how these treatments can be used to complement other therapeutic measures, such as carotid endarterectomy. It covers the pharmacological methods used to address the risk factors in stroke, the major drug discoveries of recent years--antiaggregant, antithrombotic, and anticoagulant therapies--and also long established therapies such as aspirin and warfarin. With contributions by internationally recognized experts, this is a unique single source of information on current pharmacological prevention of stroke.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prevention of Stroke sums up and critically analyzes our present knowledge and understanding of all major aspects of stroke prophylaxis, medical and surgical. The book is intended for not only neurologists and neurosurgeons directly involved with stroke patients, but also vascular surgeons, internists, family physicians, and health planners. Topics explored include the cellular basis of atherosclerosis; stroke risk factors; head and neck bruits in stroke prevention; the present status of anticoagulant prophylaxis; hypertension and stroke prevention; and prevention of cardioembolic stroke, as well as the efficacy of aspirin and of ticlopidine in stroke prevention. Surgical prophylaxis is examined through discussions of carotid endarterectomy, prevention of stroke from cerebral vascular malformations, prevention of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, balloon transluminal angioplasty of the carotid artery in the head and neck, and prevention of recurrent stroke.

Download or read book Antithrombotic Therapy in Prevention of Ischemic Stroke written by Richard C. Becker and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stroke is the most common cause of adult mortality in the United States. Antithrombotic agents form the mainstay of stroke prevention. Aspirin produces a modest reduction in the risk of second stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA, mini-stroke) and is widely recommended for initial therapy. The thienopyridines (Ticlid) and clopodogrel (Plavix) are alternatives for secondary prevention in patients who do not respond to or cannot take aspirin. They are no more effective than aspirin and have been associated with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. The combination of aspirin and extended-release dipyridamole (Aggrenox) has several mechanisms of action and an additive effect on reducing stroke risk compared with either agent alone. A 2-fold increase in risk reduction and favorable safety profile suggest that the combination can serve as first-line prophylaxis against a second stroke. This volume, as part of the Oxford American Pocket Note series, provides the clinician wtih up-to-date information on the guidelines, and therapeutic options in recurrent stroke/TIA prevention. Useful features include treatment algorithms, illustrations, medication tables, charts and figures to enable both the specialist and the primary provider to ensure the best options to their patients in order to prevent the reocurrence of stroke/TIA.

This book was released on 2004-04-28 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite major advances in the understanding of stroke mechanisms that have occurred over the past quarter century, stroke continues to rank among the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Although currently it may be difficult to believe, early doubts were expressed as to whether inter ventions in risk factors for either coronary disease or stroke would actually lead to a reduction in the incidence of these disorders. However, large clini cal trials in hypertension, carotid disease, atrial fibrillation, and antithrombotic and antiplatelet therapies have effectively demonstrated the efficacy of these targeted interventions in reducing stroke incidence. More recently, after earlier uncertainty regarding the role of elevated lipids as a risk factor for stroke, clinical trials of the statins have also demonstrated a significant reduction in the incidence of ischemic stroke. However, as em phasized in Handbook of Stroke Prevention in Clinical Practice, despite these gains and the initial decline in stroke incidence that did occur in the 1960s and 1970s, the incidence of stroke disappointingly has failed to show a fur ther significant decline since that time. The editors of Handbook of Stroke Prevention in Clinical Practice raise the very important question of whether recognized strategies for stroke preven tion have been widely or effectively implemented. They correctly empha size the critical importance of identifying the mechanism of stroke in each patient so as to properly direct prevention and treatment. As Dr.

Download or read book Antiplatelet Therapy in ACS and A-Fib written by Victor L. Serebruany and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2012 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by top experts in the field Platelets play a critical role in the pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and thromboembolic complications associated with atrial fibrillation. Anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapies are central to the treatment of ACS and atrial fibrillation. Over the last several decades, a better understanding of the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation has led to refinements in antithrombotic strategies and clinical outcomes. With this in mind, some of the issues outlined in this book are new insights in genetic testing and modification of individualized antiplatelet therapy based on rapid bedside platelet analyzers. Most importantly, the current update of pros and cons of novel antiplatelet agents such as prasugrel and ticagrelor are provided in detail. Conventional antiplatelet strategies with aspirin and clopidogrel are also discussed. Special attention is devoted to experimental antiplatelet agents like PAR-1 thrombin receptor antagonists or aptamers. The ability to focus on different diseases beyond ACS, including heart failure and atrial fibrillation, distinguishes this publication. Each chapter was written by top experts in the field and scientists with the utmost authority and expertise to provide cardiologists, internists, and clinical pharmacologists with the latest updates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antiplatelet therapy is the cornerstone of treatment of ischemic cardiovascular disease and over the last few years spectacular advancements in this field have been recorded. This is the first comprehensive handbook entirely dedicated to all the aspects of antiplatelet therapy. The book is divided into three main sections, pathophysiology, pharmacology and therapy, for a total of 23 chapters. A large group of leading experts from different European countries and from the USA, both from academia and industry, have contributed to the book. Besides a detailed overview on the pharmacology and clinical applications of all the currently used or of the novel antiplatelet agents, innovative approaches (e.g. intracellular signalling as an antiplatelet target, small RNAs as platelet therapeutics, etc.) or unconventional aspects (e.g. pharmacologic modulation of the inflammatory action of platelets are also treated. The book is oriented to both basic investigators and to clinicians involved with research on platelet inhibition or with the clinical use of antiplatelet therapies.
