These heart problems may be caused by the stroke itself, or by the same underlying process that induced the stroke, or the heart problem may occur first to cause the stroke. More details at:

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteThank you sharing! I think that you entry linking cardiovascular events and stroke is very timely and important as the two are dependent upon vascular health. An ongoing initiative by the Center's for Disease Control and Prevention is the Million Heart's Initiative--aimed at reducing heart attacks and strokes by one million in the next five years through the proliferation partnerships, toolkits, education, and health managment incentives. These interventions are aimed at reducing sodium intake, blood pressure managment, reducing cholesterol and increasing healthy activities.
There is much information about this initiative, which can be found on the web.
Thanks again!
