Richard W. Besdine, MD, on Preventing and Treating Stroke
BACK
Although it is the third most common cause of death in America, stroke is commonly misunderstood. In his latest blog post, AFAR Medical Officer Richard W. Besdine, MD, dispels common myths and shares valuable but little-known information about stroke risk, prevention—both through lifestyle and medication—and treatment. Dr. Besdine also discusses conditions, atrial fibrillation and hypertension, that increase the risk of stroke but are often undertreated in the elderly.
This is the ninth post in Dr. Besdine's series on health care and aging on the AOL Healthy Living site. Read all of his articles here.
