#IschemicStroke is a significant global health challenge, accounting for approximately 66% of all strokes worldwide ‼️ Recent data indicates that stroke was 👉 the third leading cause of death (10.7 % of all deaths), following ischemic heart disease #IHD and #COVID19. In 2021, nearly 94 million people were living with the consequences of a stroke, and about 12 million new cases were reported‼️
The issue is we cannot still effectively prevent the first and recurrent stroke (there are still 74 thousands strokes in Poland annually), thus the International Lipid Expert Panel (ILEP) in collaboration with the experts of the European Society of Cardiology Council on Stroke, has prepared a practical #guidance on how to #prevent stroke with optimal combination lipid lowering therapy hasztag#LLT both in primary and secondary prevention.
