[摘要]：A 62-year-old woman is seen 1 week after an ischemic stroke. She had presented to another hospital with dysphasia and right-sided weakness; magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a recent infarction in the left parietal cortex, and computed tomographic angiography (CTA) showed a high-grade stenosis in the left proximal internal carotid artery with normal intracranial vessels (Fig. 1). She was treated with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator and discharged home, taking aspirin and a statin. She stopped smoking 12 years ago. On examination, the blood pressure is 145/90 mm Hg. She reports some mild residual clumsiness of her right hand. What would you advise to reduce the risk of stroke recurrence? |
