In the fall of 2024, the American Stroke Association introduced updated guidelines aimed at enhancing stroke prevention. This initiative aligns with efforts from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to challenge existing norms regarding moderate alcohol consumption and stroke risk. Further, the Global Stroke Action Coalition has launched guidelines emphasizing secondary prevention strategies and the involvement of stroke survivors in policymaking. Professor Bo Norrving stressed the urgency of developing National Stroke Plans, highlighting that immediate governmental action is crucial to save millions of lives from strokes.
"We can't afford to wait another 30 years to turn this around. Millions of lives depend on governments taking action now."
"Among its recommendations are that policymakers include input from both stroke survivors and caregivers."
