[The patient after cerebral stroke in the primary care physician's office--secondary prophylaxis of stroke].
A cerebral stroke is a challenge to modern medicine. A significant increase in the number of old-age individuals in Poland has resulted in an increase in the number of strokes. Moreover, a relatively high mortality rate and disability level may be observed in stroke patients. Thus, it is essential to stress the importance of secondary prophylaxis of stroke. Therefore, the role of a primary care physician is of special importance now because of an increasing number of stroke patients having appointments for this problem. Stroke patients are instructed to implement an integrated procedure strategy in order to improve prognosis as to their lives and health, i.e. to prevent the recurrence of the disease or death and to improve the quality and comfort of life. The most important elements of the secondary prophylaxis of stroke include a modification of the way of life and stroke risk factors, anticoagulant, antiplatelet and surgical treatment.
