Patients who have had a stroke are at high risk for recurrent stroke, myocardial infarction, and vascular death. Prevention of these events should be initiated promptly after stroke, because many recurrent events occur early, and should be tailored to the precise cause of stroke, which may require specific treatment.

Multimodality Stroke Prevention
The Neurologist, 2006Prevention harbors the greatest potential for reducing the societal burden from stroke. As evidence accumulates on the multifactorial pathogenesis of vascular disease and the impact of novel combination therapies targeted at reducing recurrent vascular events, a new paradigm is emerging, which is that of multimodality vascular prevention.

Once the patient at high risk of stroke is identified, measures can be instituted to lower the risk. In hypertensive patients, the goal is control of blood pressure. In patients with occlusive arterial disease, either anticoagulation or surgery may be the treatment of choice.

Preventable stroke and stroke prevention
Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2005Stroke is a major cause of death and disability in the world. The main causes of stroke are atherothromboembolism and cardiogenic embolism. The main causal and treatable risk factors for atherothromboembolic ischemic stroke are increasing blood pressure (BP), increasing cholesterol, cigarette smoking and diabetes; and the main risk factors for ...

Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 2008
Stroke is the most common life-threatening neurological disorder. Based on limited acute therapies, clinicians have opted to focus on preventive strategies to limit its recurrence. Targets for prevention include modifiable risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, cigarette smoking, obesity, alcohol use, and physical ...

Determinants of preventable stroke—Ankara ACROSS stroke preventability study
Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2020Unhealthy lifestyle and inadequate control of vascular risk factors are the major contributors of stroke burden. Failure in achieving the target levels in control of these factors, not only designate missed opportunities contributing to the preventability of an incident stroke, but also set the post-stroke treatment goals in a case wise basis.

Stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Risk factors for stroke have been determined through prospective epidemiologic study. Control of risk factors has been demonstrated to reduce stroke incidence, either through controlled trials or inferred from observational studies. In the past few years, new approaches to the treatment of established

Publisher Summary Stroke is a major cause of death and devastating disability. For every 1000 of the population, three strokes each year, one of which is fatal, can be expected. Of those surviving stroke, about 70% have obvious neurological deficits after maximum recovery.

: This review summarizes the systematic approaches that can be used to optimize secondary stroke prevention. Systematic secondary stroke prevention involves not only prescribing stroke patients the appropriate medications to manage risk factors, but also optimizing the effectiveness of those drugs by focusing on medication adherence.
