Prevention of Future Strokes
The exceptionally skilled stroke care teams at Suburban Community Hospital also work to prevent secondary strokes through:
- Aggressive use of medications, such as blood pressure medications, statins and anti-platelets, as indicated in the secondary stroke prevention guidelines.
- Treatment of atrial fibrillation, a disorder that prevents blood from pumping out completely of the heart and increases the chance of blood clots.
- Treatment of atherosclerosis, the hardening of the arteries.
- Identification and treatment of carotid stenosis, the hardening of the neck arteries.
