American Stroke Association Releases New Guidelines to Prevent 80% of Strokes
Nov 9, 2024, 04:25 PM
On World Stroke Day, the American Stroke Association has released the first new guidelines in a decade aimed at preventing strokes, the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. The guidelines emphasize the importance of adopting a Mediterranean diet, increasing physical activity, and avoiding smoking. These recommendations reflect a better understanding of stroke risk factors and the introduction of new drugs that can help reduce the risk. The majority of strokes, which often occur without warning, could be prevented with these measures. The new guidelines could prevent 80% of strokes.
