Intravenous heparin therapy is often used in patients presenting with transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke as either bridging therapy for anticoagulation with warfarin or primary therapy in suspected intracranial arterial dissection, crescendo TIAs, or suspected hypercoagulable states. We attempted to validate the use of a weight-based nomogram for heparin-adjusted therapy during hospital admission of patients with TIA or stroke.
