Stroke is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. It has well modifiable risk factors, which makes prevention an effective strategy. Antithrombotics and anticoagulants have been the main pharmacological options in secondary prevention. A number of new antiplatelet drugs have been introduced over the past decade.
