Benefit of Ticagrelor-Aspirin in Stroke Patients Tied to Renal Function
Stroke patients with normal, but not those with impaired, renal function have greater benefit with ticagrelor-aspirin than clopidogrel-aspirin
Apixaban Compared to Rivaroxaban for A-Fib and Valvular Heart Disease
Risks for ischemic stroke or systemic embolism, bleeding reduced with apixaban versus rivaroxaban for atrial fibrillation and valvular heart disease
