Drawing on data from the Global Burden of Disease 2013 Study, Feigin and colleagues highlight the increasing global stroke burden, which indicates deficiencies in current primary prevention strategies. The authors present a four-point plan to improve primary stroke prevention, which includes a shift in emphasis from a high-risk approach to a more comprehensive approach that targets people at all levels of cardiovascular disease risk.
