Overview
Primary prevention
Primary prevention of hemorrhagic stroke is mainly aimed at treatment and modifcation of risk factors which are directly associated with increased occurence of hemorrhagic stroke.
Effective measures for primary prevention of stroke include:
- Noninvasive screening for unruptured intracranial aneurysms may be considered in patients with
- Cervical fibromuscular dysplasia
- ≥2 first-degree relatives with SAH or intracranial aneurysms
- ADPKD and ≥1 relatives with ADPKD and SAH or intracranial aneurysm
- Life style modifications such as:
- Increased physical activity in obese or over weight patients to maintain healthy weight
- Reduced intake of sodium and increased intake of potassium
- A diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables
- Smoking cessation and decreased alcohal intake
