Overview
The incidence of stroke, especially in women, is fast-rising. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in women and fifth in men.[1] Many studies have documented the fact that women are more adversely affected by stroke and its complications, in terms of functional recovery, quality of life when compared to men.[2][3][4] Therefore, it is important to provide guidelines to identify high-risk women for stroke, and also to provide recommendations regarding prevention of stroke.
