Consideration of innovative ideas for stroke prevention: focus on the prevention of stroke attack / 中华神经科杂志

There is a pathological process before the attack of stroke. The current primary and secondary preventions of stroke focus on the cerebral vascular conditions, risk factors, and triggering factors. However, the stroke-prone status followed by the occurrence of stroke has not been paid appropriate attention to, which is named in this article as the process of stroke attack. The biomarkers implying the stroke-prone status would inspire innovative ideas to study the process of stroke attack, and help find the precise prevention through the whole process of stroke.
