Landmark publication 2021

Valery Feigin co-led a landmark publication on primary stroke prevention. It is the first review of primary stroke prevention strategies across the globe that provides actionable plans and strategies and monitoring tools for all major stroke stakeholders, including health care policy makers, to radically reduce stroke burden across countries of all levels of economic development.

It is also the first paper that provides estimates of the global economic burden of stroke. This paper describes the PreventS and Stroke Riskometer apps as the key tools for individual stroke prevention, along with a detailed action plan for reducing stroke incidence and mortality across the globe.
