How do I prevent having another stroke? (Medical recommendation after a stroke)

To reduce the risk of another stroke, fix what's wrong first. Consider adding medications to control blood pressure, cholesterol and reduce blood clotting.

Our comprehensive approach to stroke care includes:

   * The latest advances, ranging from "clot-busting" drugs to improved techniques for vascular surgery
   * State-of-the-art facilities and the latest technology
   * Exceptional specialists in cardiology and radiology, as well as experts in rehabilitation, nursing and emergency medicine
   * A dedicated, stroke-trained specialist to coordinate the stroke patient's care

Our physicians and nurses work closely with our stroke patients' primary-care physicians to coordinate treatment plans and evaluate progress.

Additionally, we place a high priority on research that may lead to shorter hospital stays and speedier recoveries, and may improve the possibility of preventing stroke in the future.
