Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of platelet aggregation function - guided precision anti - platelet therapy in patients with acute cerebral infarction. The main question it aims to answer is: among the cerebral infarction patients with possible clopidogrel resistance detected by platelet aggregation function tests, what is the efficacy and safety of using ticagrelor to replace the clopidogrel treatment regimen.
