Prevention of Repeated Ischemic Stroke

The result of many scientific sources indicates that the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke (IS) lasts for five or six years. According to the WHO, the probability of this fact is within 10%, depending on demographic indicators (1, 5, 6). At the modern level of diagnostics, with the advent of neuroimaging, the emergence of foci of cerebral ischemia has been established in more than      50%. The presence of arterial hypertension is an independent predictor of recurrent stroke and, of course, blood pressure control reduces the risk of recurrent cerebral impairment. In addition, literature data trace the relationship between recurrent stroke depending on the subtype of the disease, gender tendency, and social level (2, 3).
