Detailed Description:

Antiplatelet agents are important therapeutic options in treating patients with acute ischemic strokes to prevent recurrent ischemic events or death. The aim of this study was to evaluate the low-response prevalence of early antiplatelet therapy and the influence of different aspirin dosages in patients with acute ischemic strokes (AIS).
