Title: Identification of Common Modifiable Stroke Risk Factors

Description:
This online educational activity provides a comprehensive overview of the global burden of stroke, highlighting the latest CDC statistics and data from the Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (published 2024). It illustrates how the worldwide burden of stroke has increased substantially between 1990 and 2021, now accounting for 10.7% of all deaths globally.
