Topics Covered

• Patients with ischaemic stroke are at high risk of recurrent vascular events
• One strategy to reduce the risk of recurrent events is controlling causal risk factors
• Effective strategies include stopping smoking, lowering blood pressure and blood cholesterol, minimising alcohol and salt consumption and optimizing glycosylated haemoglobin, body weight and physical activity
