The risks of recurrent stroke are different, because the causes and the pathophysiological mechanisms of ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA), the locations of vascular diseases, risk factors, and patients’ compliance are so variable. Studies in China suggest a logistic relationship betwe...
