Population

Patients at risk for primary or secondary ischemic stroke, including those with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, transient ischemic attacks, minor stroke, or carotid stenosis.

Intervention

Stroke prevention strategies including risk factor modification (hypertension, tobacco, hyperglycemia), antithrombotic therapy (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, ticlopidine), and carotid endarterectomy.

Outcome

Ischaemic strokehard clinical

This review outlines the foundational evidence-based strategies for ischemic stroke prevention, emphasizing lifelong risk factor management, appropriate antithrombotic selection, and targeted surgical intervention for severe symptomatic carotid disease.
