Introduction:IV thrombolysis is a proven treatment for acute ischemic stroke (AIS), but it is still underutilized in real-world clinical practice. Urgent interventions to increase IV thrombolysis rates are needed to improve acute stroke care.

This underuse of anticoagulants for stroke prevention has been cited as one of the greatest public health issues facing cardiovascular patients 6. Many doctors are put in the unfortunate position of having to weigh the risk of stroke against the risk of bleeding for their patients with AFib, said Christian T. Patel SM, Ruff CT.
