"Fast-forward to today: Many tPA candidates are not getting the drug. In fact, of 61,698 eligible patients with acute ischemic stroke who arrived at a hospital within two hours of the onset of symptoms, 25 percent were not treated with tPA within three hours, according to a study in an October 2016 issue of Neurology. This is even though the American Stroke Association and American Heart Association strongly endorse giving tPA to eligible patients with acute ischemic stroke within three hours of the stroke’s onset."
