Improving the management of these groups may reduce their risk and potentially prevent large number of future strokes and TIAs in the population.

J Fam Pract. 2023 Jul;72(6 Suppl):S55-S60. doi: 10.12788/jfp.0624.ABSTRACTStroke is a significant cause of mortality worldwide, and diabetes is an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke occurrence and recurrence. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) lower the risk of ischemic stroke through beneficial effects on traditional stroke risk factors such as hyperglycemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia.
