Target Audience
Stroke is the 3rd leading cause of death in the US and accounts for
about 1 out of 10 deaths in America. Stroke is also a highly
preventable disease and experts estimate that about 8 out of 10 strokes
are avoidable. Cardiovascular risk factors contribute to and account
for, the vast majority of modifiable clinical targets. The prominent
factors that contribute to patient’s risk for stroke were categorized in a
recent study called InterStroke. The investigators identified nine areas
of CV risk that accounted for nearly all the parameters that can be
diagnosed and favorably influence the reduction of stroke.
The four areas that are most fertile for clinical intervention include:
2. Smoking
4. Diabetes
The goal of the symposium is to explore in detail practice guidelines in
order to improve our knowledge base of physicians and encourage practice
patterns in order to optimize our success in stroke prevention.
• Propose tools practitioners can utilize in their practice for enhanced patient
compliance to prevent stroke.
• Illustrate evidence-based statistics that substantiate the reduction of stroke risks.
• Display a stroke prevention report card for patient assessment for
practitioners to utilize assisting them to risk stratify their patients
more appropriately.
Objectives for the Day
• Describe the contribution of lipid to stroke risk and be able to institute a plan to
optimize this risk set.
• Recognize a greater understanding of “AHA/ASA Guidelines of Primary
Prevention of Stroke”.
• Employ a greater understanding of the risk reduction techniques through a review
of the ACC education portals (Cardiosource-Cardiosmart) and guidelines.
