Stroke is a leading cause of death in the United States across all race/ethnicity and sex groups, though disparities exist. We investigated the potential for primary prevention of total first stroke for Americans aged 20 years or older, stratified by sex and race/ethnicity. Specifically, we calculated population attributable fractions (PAFs) of first stroke for 7 potentially modifiable risk factors: smoking, physical inactivity, poor diet, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and atrial fibrillation.

- Deep terminal negative of the P wave in V1 (DTNPV1) serves as a marker for left atrial remodeling and is associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke.
- In a study involving over 10,600 participants, DTNPV1 was linked to a 1.50-fold higher likelihood of stroke even after accounting for other risk factors and treatments.
- While DTNPV1 improved risk classification for those not developing stroke, it did not significantly enhance stroke prediction when combined with existing risk scoring models.
