The identification and treatment of modifiable Ischemic stroke risk factors, in addition to appropriate antithrombotic therapy, can reduce the likelihood of first or recurrent stroke, prevent long-term morbidity and mortality after first stroke or transient Ischemic attack, and lower health care costs. Long-term morbidity and mortality in patients with ischemic stroke includes patients with coronary artery disease. Therefore, in patients with ischemic stroke (especially those with carotid…

Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis: risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment
Secondary prevention of stroke.
TLDR
Information is provided on risk factor management programs, management of hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, the role of infection, lifestyle modification (diet, smoking, use of alcohol, physical activity) as well as treatment for atherosclerosis and cardiac abnormalities and reperfusion techniques.
Modifying Risk Factors After TIA and Stroke: The Impact of Intensive Education
The REduction of Atherothrombosis for Continued Health (REACH) Registry: an international, prospective, observational investigation in subjects at risk for atherothrombotic events-study design.
Knowledge of stroke risk factors among the patients with previous stroke or transient ischemic attack in a tertiary care hospital of Bangladesh
TLDR
Higher age, having a diagnosis of cerebral infarction/TIA, patients residing in urban area, high income group, businessman/retired service holder, family history of cardiovascular disease, past history of stroke / TIA were related to better knowledge of stroke/Tia risk factors.
Relationship Between Blood Pressure and Stroke Recurrence in Patients With Intracranial Arterial Stenosis
TLDR
In patients with intracranial stenosis, higher blood pressure is associated with increased (not decreased) risk of ischemic stroke and stroke in the territory of the stenotic vessel, and these findings argue strongly against the common clinical practice of maintaining high blood pressure.
Triglyceride Glucose Index and Prognosis of Patients With Ischemic Stroke
TLDR
TyG index representing insulin resistance was associated with an increased risk of stroke recurrence, all-cause mortality, and neurologic worsening in patients with ischemic stroke.
Stroke in Patients With Diabetes and Hypertension
TLDR
The authors discuss the risk factors for stroke with emphasis on the diabetic and hypertensive population, highlighting the interventions that have been shown to decrease stroke risk in this patient population.
Stroke policy and secondary prevention: how well are we adhering to these guidelines?
TLDR
Results from the recent national sentinel stroke audit reveal that there is still more to be done in order to optimize secondary stroke prevention in survivors.
Hypertension Criterion for Stroke Prevention—to Strengthen the Principle of Individualization in Guidelines
TLDR
It is proposed that hypertension should be diagnosed when an individual's blood pressure exceeds some difference from their own baseline in young adulthood, accompanied by any hypertension‐induced target organ damage, confirmed by various detection methods.

Stroke risk management: changes in mainstream practice.
TLDR
There appears to be a positive trend in improved control of stroke risk in patients with acute cerebral infarction, and patients with preexisting symptomatic vascular disease were more likely to receive appropriate risk management.

Primary prevention of ischemic stroke: A statement for healthcare professionals from the Stroke Council of the American Heart Association.
TLDR
The Stroke Council of the American Heart Association formed an ad hoc writing group to provide a clear and concise overview of the evidence regarding various established and potential stroke risk factors, and expert opinion was used to summarize existing evidence and formulate recommendations.

TLDR
Blood pressure lowering drug interventions reduced the risk of stroke recurrence in stroke survivors, and more data are needed before considering antihypertensive therapy in normotensive patients at high cerebrovascular risk.
Cardiac evaluation of stroke patients
TLDR
These results, combined with further investigations into which cerebrovascular patients are at highest risk for cardiovascular disease and what testing best identifies underlying, treatable cardiovascular disease, are needed to direct the care and improve the cardiovascular prognosis of patients with cerebroVascular disease.
Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation Study: Final Results
TLDR
Aspirin and warfarin are both effective in reducing ischemic stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation and patients with nonrheumatic atrialfibrillation who can safely take either aspirin or warfarIn should receive prophylactic antithrombotic therapy to reduce the risk of stroke.
Ventricular dysfunction and the risk of stroke after myocardial infarction.
TLDR
During the five years after myocardial infarction, patients have a substantial risk of stroke and a decreased ejection fraction and older age are both independent predictors of an increased risk of Stroke.
Risk factor modification in stroke prevention: the experience of a stroke clinic.
TLDR
Although most patients were asked to quit smoking, received advice regarding diet and exercise, and were medicated for hypertension, elevated glucose, and cholesterol levels, their risk factor profiles showed little improvement during the 2-year period.
