Selective PAR4 inhibition during reperfusion improves infarct size and neurological function after experimental stroke by blunting neuronal excitability, apoptosis, and local inflammation. PAR4 antagonists may provide additional neuroprotective benefits in patients with acute stroke beyond their canonical antiplatelet action.
