Abstract

The risk of recurrent ischemic stroke can be reduced by managing modifiable risk factors and instituting a regimen of mechanism-specific secondary stroke prevention. Strategies for secondary prevention should be instituted as early as possible. Poststroke monitoring of risk metrics, lifestyle behaviors, and medication recommendations is of key importance.
