Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Public Health
  • Cardiovascular Medicine

Background:

  • Acute cerebral infarction treatment has advanced, yet stroke remains a significant health concern.
  • Reducing stroke morbidity and mortality is a primary goal in clinical practice and public health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the critical role of identifying and modifying modifiable stroke risk factors.
  • To highlight specific risk factors contributing to increased stroke risk.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established stroke risk factors and their impact.
  • Analysis of the benefits of early risk factor identification and management.

Main Results:

  • Hypertension, atrial fibrillation, hypercholesterolemia, smoking, hyperhomocystinemia, and carotid stenosis are key modifiable risk factors.
