Abstract
Despite the lack of evidence of its efficacy, heparin therapy has been recommended for selected patients with ischemic stroke syndromes. However, heparin has procoagulant effects on platelet function and a propensity to produce serious side effects. When these factors are considered, heparin loses its appeal as a therapeutic agent for patients with acute focal cerebral ischemia.
