Despite advances in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction, the most effective method of reducing stroke morbidity and mortality is the identification and modification of stroke risk factors. Modifiable stroke risk factors include hypertension, atrial fibrillation, hypercholesterolemia, cigarette smoking, hyperhomocystinemia, and carotid stenosis. Improved identification of individuals at increased stroke risk due to these factors can reduce individual risk and the cost to society of the consequences of stroke.
尽管急性脑梗死的治疗取得了进展，但降低卒中发病率和死亡率的最有效方法是识别和改善卒中危险因素。可改变的卒中危险因素包括高血压、心房颤动、高胆固醇血症、吸烟、高同型半胱氨酸血症和颈动脉狭窄。由于这些因素导致的卒中风险增加的个体的识别得到改善，可以降低个体风险和卒中后果给社会带来的成本。
