Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Stroke remains a leading cause of disability and death worldwide.
  • Effective prevention strategies are crucial for reducing stroke incidence and recurrence.
  • Several key risk factors require targeted management for optimal stroke prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current evidence on pharmacological and surgical interventions for stroke prevention.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of statins and various antithrombotic agents.
  • To discuss management strategies for critical stroke risk factors including hypertension, atherosclerosis, atrial fibrillation, patent foramen ovale, aortic stenosis, and carotid stenosis.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of existing studies on stroke prevention.
