This review covers atherosclerotic diseases, the primary cause of stroke in older adults. It examines evidence for treatments like antiplatelet drugs and surgery to prevent strokes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Geriatrics

Background:

  • Stroke is a significant cause of disability and death, particularly in aging populations.
  • Atherosclerotic diseases are the most frequent underlying cause of stroke.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the current understanding of stroke pathophysiology.
  • To review evidence for therapeutic interventions in stroke prevention.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing therapeutic interventions.
  • Analysis of evidence for stroke prevention strategies.

Main Results:

  • Evidence for antiplatelet agents in stroke prevention.
  • Evidence for anticoagulants in stroke prevention.

  • Evidence for antihypertensive medications, lipid-lowering agents, and carotid endarterectomy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Atherosclerosis is a key target for stroke prevention strategies.
    • Multiple therapeutic interventions demonstrate efficacy in reducing stroke risk.
    • Further research may refine optimal stroke prevention protocols.
