  • Recent decades have seen a dramatic reduction in age-adjusted stroke-related mortality, presumably owing to better control of vascular risk factors, use of antithrombotic agents and improvements in acute stroke care. Here, we highlight a few developments in stroke prevention and acute care that have particularly influenced the care of patients.

  • The risk factors for cardiovascular disease are largely the same as those that harm brain health, and—importantly—these shared risk factors are modifiable. This Perspectives article discusses how the conceptual shift from avoiding vascular risk factors to promoting brain health creates opportunities for reducing morbidity and mortality associated with poor brain health.

  • Statins are potent inhibitors of cholesterol synthesis and can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and strokes in high-risk patients. As discussed here, evidence suggests that statins, in addition to their lipid-lowering capacities, have nonlipid-mediated or pleiotropic roles in stroke prevention.
