Article Synopsis
- Stroke is largely preventable, and understanding the risk factors is crucial to reduce stroke rates in Arab countries.
- Two analyses were conducted on patients with noncardioembolic ischemic stroke: one with 3,635 patients (OPTIC registry) and the other with 19,100 patients (PERFORM trial), both followed for 2 years, examining various traditional and socioeconomic risk factors.
- The studies revealed a higher prevalence of stroke risk factors and major cardiovascular events (MACE) in Arab countries, attributed to lower socioeconomic status, higher rates of diabetes, and significant poverty combined with educational disparities.
