Abstract
The article discusses the role of chronic inflammation in stroke and the potential for anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce stroke risk. It highlights the complexity of the field, as inflammation may play different roles in different types of stroke. The article also explores the impact of inflammation on other subtypes of stroke, such as cerebral small vessel disease. It mentions the use of canakinumab and colchicine as anti-inflammatory agents for vascular prevention. Additionally, the article addresses the non-motor symptoms of stroke, including anxiety, fatigue, and impaired bladder function, which can have a significant impact on quality of life. It emphasizes the need for further research in these areas. The article also discusses the association between stroke and cancer, particularly in cases of cryptogenic stroke, and the potential use of cerebral microinfarcts as a marker for brain ischemia and stroke risk in cancer patients. Finally, the article provides information on the risk of recurrence after cervical artery dissection. [Extracted from the article]
