  • ABCD2 Score: Risk for Stroke after suspected TIA. Helps determine antiplatelet therapy. https://www.mdcalc.com/abcd2-score-tia\

    • For ABCD2 Score > 4, or minor stroke with NIHSS <3, can consider DAPT (aspirin + clopidogrel) for 21 days, before switching to single antiplatelet (aspirin only), in consultation with neurology.

  • ROPE Score: If you find a PFO on echo, determines likelihood that stroke was caused by the PFO. Helps guide future management for potential closure of PFO. https://www.mdcalc.com/risk-paradoxical-embolism-rope-score
