Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Medicine

Background:

  • Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide.
  • Ischemic stroke constitutes the majority of stroke cases, primarily linked to cerebrovascular disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the causes and risk factors of stroke.
  • To provide recommendations for anticoagulant prophylaxis, treatment, and dosage.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on stroke etiology and risk factors.
  • Development of evidence-based guidelines for anticoagulant therapy.

Main Results:

  • Ischemic stroke accounts for approximately 85% of all strokes.
  • Cerebrovascular disease is the leading cause of ischemic stroke (80%), followed by cardiogenic embolism (15%).
  • Hypertension and lifestyle choices are significant modifiable risk factors.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding stroke causes and risk factors is crucial for prevention.
  • Specific anticoagulant strategies are recommended for stroke management.
