What are the main recommendations of the Guidelines for the Early Management of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke?
The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association Guidelines for the Early Management of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke provide recommendations for the early management of acute ischemic stroke, including the use of thrombolysis with intravenous alteplase, the use of antithrombotic therapies, and the management of blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol. The guidelines also recommend lifestyle modifications, such as smoking cessation, healthy diet, and regular physical activity, to reduce the risk of stroke recurrence.
