Alteplase must be administered within a short time window to appropriate patients to optimize its therapeutic efficacy. Plasmin targets the blood clot with limited systemic thrombolytic effects. Intravenous alteplase promotes thrombolysis by hydrolyzing plasminogen to form the proteolytic enzyme plasmin.

Drug treatment of AIS involves intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase (recombinant tissue plasminogen activator ). AIS most commonly occurs when a blood vessel is obstructed leading to irreversible brain injury and subsequent focal neurologic deficits. 2013 44:870–947.Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is the fourth leading cause of death and the leading cause of adult disability in the USA.

This study shows that the INR value of a patient on warfarin can help stratify patients' risk for acute ischemic stroke and guide further neurologic imaging and workup.Ĭerebrovascular disease International normalized ratio Ischemic stroke Warfarin. Ischemia is far less likely in patients with an INR of ≥2 and rare in those with an INR ≥3.6. Sub-therapeutic INR and atrial fibrillation are strongly associated with ischemia in patients on warfarin presenting with acute neurologic symptoms. No patient with an INR of ≥3.6 was found to have ischemia. In patients with an INR ≥2, the predictive value of having a non-ischemic etiology was 79%. In multivariable analysis, both sub-therapeutic INR (p < 0.001) and atrial fibrillation (p = 0.014) were predictors of ischemia.
A statistically significant difference in mean INR for patients with ischemia (n = 46) versus mimics (n = 70) was observed (1.7 vs. 75% of patients were on warfarin for atrial fibrillation versus 25% for venous thrombosis. Sensitivity and specificity analyses were conducted to determine the predictive value of INR for ischemic risk.ġ16 patients were included 46 were diagnosed with ischemia, 70 were diagnosed as mimics. Significant results were entered into a multivariable regression analysis. Student t tests and χ2 analysis were used to evaluate factors associated with increased likelihood of ischemia (stroke or transient ischemic attack) versus mimic. Data were collected regarding patient demographics, medical comorbidities, stroke severity, reason for anticoagulation, and laboratory studies including INR. All adult patients undergoing evaluation for acute stroke with prior documented use of warfarin and an INR level at presentation were included. Patients were identified using the acute stroke registry at a Primary Stroke Center from January 2013 through December 2014. This study evaluates the association and predictive value of INR in determining the likelihood of ischemia. Therefore, INR may be able to indicate whether new neurological deficits are more likely strokes or stroke mimics in patients on warfarin. Patients with a low international normalized ratio (INR) should theoretically be at greater risk for ischemia than those who are therapeutic. Stroke can occur in patients on warfarin despite anticoagulation.
