Key result
This review discusses effective interventions for optimal primary and secondary ischemic stroke prevention, including risk factor management, carotid revascularization, and anticoagulation.
This review summarizes effective interventions for optimal primary and secondary stroke prevention, including risk factor management and specific interventions like revascularization and anticoagulation.
Supports established stroke prevention strategies; leaves open questions on emerging therapies and equity in implementation.
Prevention of stroke and transient ischemic attack includes both conventional approaches to vascular risk factor management (blood pressure lowering, cholesterol reduction with statins, smoking cessation and antiplatelet therapy) and more specific interventions, such as carotid revascularization or anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation. The objective of this review is to discuss effective interventions for optimal primary and secondary stroke prevention.

Paciaroni et al. (2010) conducted a review in Ischemic Stroke. Stroke prevention interventions was evaluated. This review discusses effective interventions for optimal primary and secondary ischemic stroke prevention, including risk factor management, carotid revascularization, and anticoagulation.
