Avoiding a Secondary Stroke
If you’ve had a stroke, chances are fear of a recurrence is always in the back of your mind. The current recurrence rate for US stroke survivors is around 10% yet many of these secondary strokes could have been avoided. That’s why it’s wise to do all you can to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Dr. Ilkcan Cokgor, a Neurologist and member of the medical staff at MarinHealth, has some good advice to help you stay well. Some of the topics covered in this podcast include the risk factors for a secondary stroke, the difference between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, and the importance of staying on your medication.
