Abstract
Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability globally. This literature review described risk factors and diagnostic aspects of ischemic stroke prevention. Carotid stenosis and occlusion is a treatable cause of ischemic stroke, which can be diagnosed by duplex scanning of the brachiocephalic arteries. The reasons for the low effectiveness of preventive measures for ischemic stroke are the incomplete collection of anamnesis for risk factors that affect the clinical prognosis, the low use of modern diagnostic methods by primary health care general practitioners in the screening of patients.
