2024 Guideline for the Primary Prevention of Stroke: A Guideline From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association

 

Leaders would create and execute a strategy for 100% recovery for all! Yeah, that is a BHAG(Big Hairy Audacious (or Assed) Goal, but leaders tackle such goals that survivors want! Are you leaders or not? Looking forward to working with you to solve stroke. Stroke is in your name so I'm obviously making an incorrect assumption that you want to solve stroke rather than this simple and mostly useless guideline.

Abstract

AIM:

The “2024 Guideline for the Primary Prevention of Stroke” replaces the 2014 “Guidelines for the Primary Prevention of Stroke.” This updated guideline is intended to be a resource for clinicians to use to guide various prevention strategies for individuals with no history of stroke.

METHODS:

A comprehensive search for literature published since the 2014 guideline; derived from research involving human participants published in English; and indexed in MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and other selected and relevant databases was conducted between May and November 2023. Other documents on related subject matter previously published by the American Heart Association were also reviewed.

STRUCTURE:

Ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes lead to significant disability but, most important, are preventable. The 2024 primary prevention of stroke guideline provides recommendations based on current evidence for strategies to prevent stroke throughout the life span. These recommendations align with the American Heart Association’s Life’s Essential 8 for optimizing cardiovascular and brain health, in addition to preventing incident stroke. We also have added sex-specific recommendations for screening and prevention of stroke, which are new compared with the 2014 guideline. Many recommendations for similar risk factor prevention were updated, new topics were reviewed, and recommendations were created when supported by sufficient-quality published data.
