Abstract

Disabling stroke is costly and considered by some patients a fate worse than death. We aimed to determine whether clopidogrel reduces the rate and functional severity of stroke among high vascular risk patients, including patients with previous transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke, who were enrolled in the Clopidogrel for High Atherothrombotic Risk and Ischemic Stabilization, Management and Avoidance (CHARISMA) trial.
