Deans' stroke musings: Making Stroke Prevention the Mainstay of National Stroke Strategies

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Making Stroke Prevention the Mainstay of National Stroke Strategies - World Stroke Organization

Good to know they don't give a flying fuck about stroke survivors. They need to be destroyed and run by survivors. We wouldn't run away from solving stroke like these lazy assholes.

Making Stroke Prevention the Mainstay of National Stroke Strategies - World Stroke Organization

According to a recent WSO analysis, the annual global cost of stroke looks set to hit US$1 trillion by 2030. While treatments for stroke have advanced considerably in recent years, scaling up care in low- and middle- income countries, where the burden of disease is growing fastest, is a particular and complex challenge. While working to ensure equitable access to quality stroke care(NOT RESULTS!) remains a priority that the World Stroke Organization is seeking to address, prevention is always better than cure. Not one of the 12 million people who have a stroke this year wanted this to happen to them and equally no government wants to spend resources on a healthcare crisis that can be addressed at source. This is why WSO advocates strongly for low-cost, population level prevention to be a mainstay of national stroke strategies.

We know what causes stroke - 90% of strokes are linked to 10 modifiable risk factors including hypertension, smoking, overweight/obesity, exercise and alcohol – all of which are linked to other non-communicable diseases including heart disease, dementia, diabetes and cancer. We have strong evidence of where the issues are in the system and how these can be addressed. Cut Stroke in Half, WSO’s flagship policy initiative, provides a clear roadmap for policy makers that combines population-wide strategies that would reduce stroke incidence for those at low and medium risk where 80% of strokes currently occur.

The key pillars of Cut Stroke in Half include reducing exposure to stroke risk factors, implementing motivational digital and mobile technologies, facilitating access to low dose combination medications in a single poly-pill for specific groups, and stroke prevention training and deployment of community health workers.
