Medical scientists just vetted a potentially powerful new tool for helping prevent stroke and heart attack. In a study recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers show that a drug reduced the risk of stroke or heart attack by almost a quarter in patients who had previously suffered a stroke or mini-stroke.
It's an exciting result for a drug in a new class of medication now being harnessed to prevent stroke and related cardiovascular problems, says Souvik Sen, a professor of clinical neurology at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine and one of the co-authors of the study.
