"There has been an explosion of new research on women's health and stroke risk, so there was quite a bit of new data to draw from for these recommendations," Cheryl Bushnell, lead author of the recommendations, emphasized the recent developments in research pertaining to women's unique health needs in relation to stroke. The updated guidelines reflect this wealth of information, which was not as extensively considered in previous recommendations, marking a significant advancement for clinical practices around women and stroke.
"Pregnant and postpartum people face triple the risk of stroke compared to other young adults of a similar age," highlighting the critical importance of screening for conditions like pregnancy, endometriosis, and premature menopause regarding stroke risk. As these factors significantly elevate the likelihood of experiencing a stroke, the guidelines stress the need for tailored healthcare approaches to effectively manage these heightened risks.
