Summary

Carotid endarterectomy is associated with a higher use of antiplatelet agents and statins in stroke/TIA patients and the absence of such an association with blood pressure and blood glucose control suggests that the individual determinants of the quality of the secondary medical prevention vary from one risk factor to another and from one class of drugs to another.
