Abstract:
Stroke is the second leading cause of death after ischaemic heart disease, and the second leading cause of Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) lost globally. A holistic approach to the prevention and management of stroke can reduce stroke-related mortality and morbidity.The association between diabetes, atrial fibrillation, and renal disease as risk factors for stroke are discussed in this meeting summary. The results of phase 3 trials for anticoagulation therapy are reviewed and presented in the context of defining high-risk patients for stroke and cardiovascular disease.
