Antiplatelets, ACE Inhibitors, and Statins Combination Reduces Stroke Severity and Tissue At Risk
Neurol 66:1153-1158, Kumar,S.,et al, 2006
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Prestroke use of available drugs for stroke prevention, in combination, may result in additive reduction in stroke severity, as measured by NIH Stroke Scale, and the volume of ischemic tissue at risk, as assessed by perfusion-weighted imaging-diffusion-weighted imaging mismatch. These findings require further validation in larger-scale, randomized, prospective studies.
