By Michelle RobertsDigital health editor
People who have had a stroke caused by a blood clot should have a DNA test to see whether they Can be given a drug to help prevent more brain attacks, new draft guidelines for the NHS say.
Stroke risk increases when someone has had one previously, which is why preventive medication is recommended.
