We conclude that anticoagulation is effective in reducing the risk of recurrent vascular events in NRAF patients with a recent TIA or minor ischemic stroke.In absolute terms:90 vascular events(mainly strokes)are prevented if 1000 patients are treated with anticoagulation for one year. Aspirin is a safe,though less effective,alternative when anticoagulation is contraindicated;it prevents 40 vascular events each year for every 1000 treated patients. |
