Heart attack and stroke survivors must work to avoid future problems

But are they being given decent information to prevent that next stroke other than the general, exercise, eat healthy, control blood pressure?  Maybe you want to ask your doctor about these 10 prevention ideas. But they come from me, a non-medical person, so they are automatically worthless. But don't listen to me, I'm not medically trained, and your doctor knows it all.
