Monitoring risk and preventing ischemic stroke in the very old
This article examines current guidelines and evidence regarding medical management, lifestyle changes, and psychosocial interactions that can contribute to the primary and secondary prevention of ischemic stroke in the very old.AREAS COVERED: The authors conducted a literature search for ischemic stroke prevention and risk assessment in the elderly via PubMed. Furthermore, they describe current strategies for monitoring risk and preventing ischemic stroke in the elderly population.EXPERT OPINION: Ischemic stroke poses a significant health risk to the elderly, with prevention relying on managing modifiable risk factors such...

Stroke and dementia, leading causes of neurological disability and death, potential for prevention
We report the 2019 estimations for global disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and death numbers and rates related to stroke and dementia, as well as their risk attributed DALYs and deaths and their changes between 2010 and 2019.RESULTS: Stroke accounted for 69.8%, dementia for 17.3%, and combined contributed to 87.2% (8.2 million) of neurological deaths and 61.7% (168.5 million) of neurological DALYs in 2019. For stroke, 86.4% of DALYs and for dementias 32.8% of DALYs are attributable to risk factors. Globally, hypertension (54.8%) and unhealthy diet (30.0%) pose the greatest risk for stroke DALYs, and smoking (15.1%) a...

Rutin protects hemorrhagic stroke development via supressing oxidative stress and inflammatory events in a zebrafish model
Eur J Pharmacol. 2022 Apr 22:174973. doi: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2022.174973. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIntracerebral haemorrhagic (ICH) stroke is a major cause of death and disability globally, with no proper treatment available so far. Rutin, a dietary flavonoid, has shown protection against cerebral ischemic stroke due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory attributes. However, the efficacy of rutin against ICH stroke remained unexplored. Therefore, in the current study, we investigated the effect of rutin in an ICH stroke zebrafish larva model. The larvae were exposed to atorvastatin (1.25 μM) in system water for indu...

Dietary Interventions to Lower the Risk of Stroke
Abstract Stroke is a major cause of death and permanent disability in the USA; primary prevention and risk reduction are a critical health concern. A wealth of research investigated stroke risk factors, including primary hypertension, diabetes, and atrial fibrillation. Research has expanded to examine lifestyle factors, such as diet/dietary patterns, physical activity, cigarette smoking, and obesity distribution, as critical modifiable risk factors. Emerging evidence suggests diet/dietary patterns may lead to heightened risk of stroke. Despite a growing literature, research has yet to implement dietary interventi...

Prevention of stroke: a global perspective
Publication date: 6–12 October 2018Source: The Lancet, Volume 392, Issue 10154Author(s): Jeyaraj D Pandian, Seana L Gall, Mahesh P Kate, Gisele S Silva, Rufus O Akinyemi, Bruce I Ovbiagele, Pablo M Lavados, Dorcas B C Gandhi, Amanda G ThriftSummaryAlong with the rising global burden of disability attributed to stroke, costs of stroke care are rising, providing the impetus to direct our research focus towards effective measures of stroke prevention. In this Series paper, we discuss strategies for reducing the risk of the emergence of disease (primordial prevention), preventing the onset of disease (primary prevention), an...

Secondary stroke prevention after TIA or ischemic stroke
Herz. 2021 Apr 29. doi: 10.1007/s00059-021-05035-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStroke is one of the main causes of mortality and permanent disability. Secondary prevention of stroke recurrence therefore has a high priority. Secondary prevention of ischemic stroke includes optimization of the lifestyle and diet, treatment of risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia, prophylaxis of recurrence with antiplatelet treatment in patients with high vascular risk and anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation. In addition, secondary prevention includes carotid surgery or stenting in selected symptomati...
