Secondary Ischemic Stroke Prevention
Abstract
The health burden of ischemic stroke is high and will continue to increase with an aging population. Recurrent ischemic stroke is increasingly recognized as a major public health concern with potentially debilitating sequelae. Thus, it is imperative to develop and implement effective strategies for stroke prevention. When considering secondary ischemic stroke prevention, it is important to consider the mechanism of the first stroke and the related vascular risk factors. Secondary ischemic stroke prevention typically includes multiple medical and, potentially, surgical treatments, but with the shared goal of reducing the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke. Providers, health care systems, and insurers also need to consider the availability of treatments, their cost and patient burden, methods for improving adherence, and interventions that target lifestyle risk factors such as diet or activity. In this article, we discuss aspects from the 2021 AHA Guideline on Secondary Stroke Prevention as well as highlight additional information relevant to best practices for reducing recurrent stroke risk.
