| Abstract:
|
Stroke is considered as one of major causes of disability and subsequent death. This study aimed to assess one of
vascular marker 'C-Reactive protein' response with usage of antiplatelet aspirin vs. clopidogrel in Kirkuk city. A
prospective follow-up study was achieved in Kirkuk city in Medicine and Neurology department of Azadi Teaching
Hospital starting at 1st February 2018 ending to 1st December 2018, included 60 acute stroke patients. It had been
found that there is an acute elevation of CRP blood levels in both aspirin and clopidogrel treated groups in acute
ischemic stroke patients and fall on subsequent months. In conclusion, that there is no statistical significant difference
between prescribing of aspirin or clopidogrel treatment for acute ischemic stroke patients on CRP blood levels, as well
known that CRP is one of prognostic markers , so usage of aspirin or clopidogrel as monotherapy in secondary
prevention had same prognostic value.
