With this session, we will continue our discussion about stroke by talking about how to prevent patients who have already had a stroke from having a second one. Given time constraints, we will be talking about 2 different topics this session, so there are fewer learning objectives than normal.
Learning objectives
1) Select antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy for the secondary prevention of stroke
2) Identify and justify pharmacological therapy that may be used during hospitalization after a stroke
3) Given a patient scenario determine pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy that is appropriate for the secondary prevention of stroke
