Prevention of Recurrent Ischemic Stroke

Relevance of the problem The problem of stroke prevention has not only medical, but also the most important social significance, since stroke is one of the most common causes of mortality and disability. In Uzbekistan, the incidence of stroke and mortality from it remain among the highest in the world; more than 50 thousand strokes are registered annually in our country, among which ischemic strokes are more common (60–75%) [1,3]. In the United States, about 800 thousand strokes are registered annually, while recurrent strokes account for 250 thousand and are accompanied by a higher incidence of mortality and disability than the first stroke [20].
