Overview
The treatment and prevention of ischemic cerebrovascular accidents are subject to intensive medical research based on which the recommended treatment procedures used as a support in clinical practice are modified with a certain delay. This paper provides an overview of current information about the prevention of cerebrovascular accidents, which should have been reflected in the clinical decision-making before incorporation into the official recommended procedures. It summarizes the latest information primarily regarding cardioembolic strokes, use of new anticoagulants, and an approach to carotid stenoses based on the results of clinical trials in primary and secondary prevention of cerebrovascular accidents..
Keywords:
ischemic stroke – primary prevention – secondary prevention – anticoagulation therapy – antiplatelet therapy
