title: Stroke burden in adults in Armenia.
abstract: We investigated around 100 patients for one-year and then registered the information about the possible etiology of the stroke, type of disease, treatment, localization of the clot, age, as well as gender distribution of stroke patients' population. This general overview of risk factors, ways of treatment, diagnostics, care and monitoring of the stroke patients in Armenia might serve as a cornerstone work for further highlighting of new avenues for stroke treatment.
