Mrs SL, aged 75, is admitted to hospital unable to speak, swallow or move her right arm and leg, having collapsed when out to dinner with her son. She has an urgent CT scan which reveals an ischaemic stroke of the partial anterior circulation (PAC) type. She had a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) two weeks ago and her son says she has had them infrequently for the last year. She has been treated for hypertension and high cholesterol for the past 2 years and has been taking aspirin. [Pg.414]
