摘要
Background-Improved recognition of stroke signs and symptoms has paralleled the development of pharmacological strategies that may be examined to reduce stroke mortality and morbidity. Presently, tissue plasminogen activator is the only therapy that significantly improves outcome in acute stroke, with no agent demonstrating a significant reduction in mortality. Summary of Review-Antiplatelet agents are a heterogenous class of drugs that have been successfully used for more than 2 decades in secondary stroke prevention. These agents include aspirin, with or without dipyridamole, and more recently, the adenosine antagonists ticlopidine and clopidogrel. However, studies of the use of antiplatelet agents within 48 hours of the ictus have examined only aspirin. Only 1 study, the Multicentre Acute Stroke Trial-Italy (MAST-I), entered patients within 6 hours of the ictus, These data suggest that an improvement in mortality may be related to the speed of administration. No significant adverse events were noted with early antiplatelet monotherapy. However, MAST-I did note a significant increase in early mortality in patients receiving aspirin plus streptokinase, a finding not adequately explained by an increase in the intracranial hemorrhage rate. Conclusions-The use of antiplatelet therapy in acute stroke, clinical or experimental, has only recently received attention. It is likely that the use of antiplatelet agents for acute stroke therapy will be less restrictive than that currently seen for thrombolytics. Future studies should include an examination of those agents that have previously demonstrated efficacy in secondary stroke prevention, most notably, aspirin. The recognition that all platelet stimuli share a final common pathway that is dependent on the surface glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (fibrinogen) receptor has resulted in the development of various agents which block this receptor and are currently the focus for clinical trials. The role of nitric oxide in stroke therapy will depend on minimizing the hypotensive side effects of this agent. Stroke models are needed to provide preliminary data on the efficacy of antiplatelet therapy, especially as relates to the interaction of antiplatelet agents with thrombolytics.
