prevention of 2nd stroke
tertiary stroke prevention
prevent complications from dificits caused by a stroke
relative risk
the chance of getting a disease when having the risk factor
odds ratio
in a patient with the disease, how big is the chance of having the risk factor
diffusion abnormality
reduced blood flow
irreversible
perfusion abnormality
reduced oxygen supply
reversible
penumbra
area with prefusion but not diffusion abnormalities
