ESOC 2021 | Sex differences and their implications for stroke management

Sanne Peters, PhD, George Institute for Global Health, Imperial College London, London, UK, emphasizes the importance of adequate treatment for all those at risk of stroke, despite the existence of sex differences in the association between certain risk factors and stroke risk. However, the intensity of treatment may need to be adapted in women due to the stronger associations seen between specific risk factors and the risk of stroke. This interview took place at the European Stroke Organisation Conference (ESOC), 2021.
