Antiphospholipid Syndrome and Ischemic Stroke in Young Adults - Abstract
Ischemic stroke in young adults is a challenge globally and a potential source of major morbidity.
Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) is a risk factor for stroke at any age, but particularly so in young adults. Young adults with APS have a higher risk for recurrent stroke and other vascular events. Here we review the current literature regarding APS and its impact on stroke in young adults. Primary and secondary stroke prevention is also discussed.
