- Abstract
The article focuses on an optimal management of vascular risk factors, associated with antithrombotic drugs and carotid surgery when appropriate, reduces the risk of a new vascular event after stroke. The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that secondary prevention measures after cerebral ischemia improve over time. The proportion of patients in whom arterial hypertension and hypercholesterolemia were identified was higher in 2002, but the proportion of patients identified as diabetics remained stable.
