-Stroke has a genetic component. Despite this, it is still possible for people to reduce their risk. Preventive measures are especially beneficial for those with high susceptibility – individuals with hypertension and artrial fibrillation, the overweight, cigarette smokers, and people living with diabetes.Engaging in a healthy lifestyle is one of the best ways to prevent stroke. A healthy lifestyle means eschewing drugs (another known risk factor) and tobacco as well as having frequent exercise and a daily diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Obstructive sleep apnea causes irregular nightly oxygen levels, which makes it important for sufferers to seek treatment from their physician. People with a history of ischemic stroke may be prescribed anticoagulant drugs such as Warfarin and Heparin along with frequent INR testing in order to avoid stroke re-occurrence [http://AdvancedCardioServices.com/stroke.html].
