TL;DR: The findings suggest that ten risk factors are associated with 90% of the risk of stroke, and targeted interventions that reduce blood pressure and smoking, and promote physical activity and a healthy diet, could substantially reduce the burden of stroke.

TL;DR: The importance of potentially modifiable risk factors for stroke in different regions of the world, and in key populations and primary pathological subtypes of stroke, was quantified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk Factors, Outcome, and Treatment in Subtypes of Ischemic Stroke The German Stroke Data Bank
Armin J. Grau,Christian Weimar,Florian Buggle,Alexander Heinrich,Michael Goertler,Stefan Neumaier,Joerg Glahn,Tobias Brandt,Werner Hacke,Hans-Christoph Diener +9 more
TL;DR: The results foster the concept of ischemic stroke as a polyetiologic disease with marked differences between subtypes regarding risk factors and outcome, and studies involving risk factors of isChemic stroke should differentiate between etiologic stroke subtypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Among patients who had had a recent cryptogenic stroke attributed to PFO with an associated atrial septal aneurysm or large interatrial shunt, the rate of stroke recurrence was lower among those assigned to P FO closure combined with antiplatelet therapy than among those assign to anti platelet therapy alone.

TL;DR: The results do not support unequivocal superiority of IAT over IVT, and the efficacy of I AT versus IVT in patients with an acute BAO needs to be assessed in a randomised controlled trial.
