An October 2024 study by Mansoor, published in Stroke, reveals that women with ischemic stroke are significantly less likely than men to receive guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMTs). Women were less likely then men to be prescribed statins (58 % vs 72%), or any high blood pressure medication (28% vs 42%)
These findings emphasize the urgent need for tailored strategies to address gender disparities in stroke management and improve long-term outcomes for women.
