Secondary Stroke Prevention

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 ...

Aspirin and stroke prevention

Thrombosis Research, 2003
According to meta-analyses aspirin provides a relative reduction in the rate of major vascular events of 19% in patients with arterial disease in general, whereas for patients with ischaemic cerebrovascular disease this reduction is only 13%. The discrepancy may well result from pathophysiological differences and not from a play of chance.

Multimodality Stroke Prevention

The Neurologist, 2006
Prevention 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.

Ischemic stroke prevention

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 1999
More than 700,000 strokes occur annually in the United States--one every 40 to 50 seconds. Although stroke is one of the nation's most expensive diseases to treat, costing $41 billion per year, most strokes (perhaps as many as two thirds) are preventable.

Secondary stroke prevention

The Lancet Neurology, 2014
Survivors of stroke and transient ischaemic attacks are at risk of a recurrent stroke, which is often more severe and disabling than the index event. Optimum secondary prevention of recurrent stroke needs rapid diagnosis and treatment and prompt identification of the underlying cardiovascular cause.

Prospects for the prevention of stroke

Journal of Hypertension, 2006
We are currently fighting a battle against a stroke epidemic. Implementation of new treatment strategies could save many patients in the future. The control of blood pressure is a major objective; however, choosing specific antihypertensive therapy (e.g. an agent blocking the renin-angiotensin system) is also important.
