Hot Topics: Stroke in Younger Patients - 35-65

They still didn't address anything other than the generic prevention crap.
If these are our experts we are totally f*cking screwed. They are still going down the route of just prevention. Nothing on preventing the neuronal cascade of death.  Most youngsters are in fairly good physical shape so why not specifically address those causes? I think these 11 Stroke risk reduction ideas should be considered. But don't listen to me because I obviously know less about stroke than these 'prominent stroke experts'.

Recommendations for prevention in ages 35 to 65.
Are the causes of stroke different in younger patients than in those over 65, and should prevention measures be any different? Three prominent stroke experts address these questions: Donna Arnett, PhD, MSPH, of the UAB School of Public Health in Birmingham, Ala.; Kenneth Gaines, MD, MBA, of Ochsner Health System in New Orleans; and Helmi Lutsep, MD, of Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. They called the rise in strokes among younger patients an "alarming trend" and suggested preventions for this group.
