Abstract: Cerebrovascular events have become the most common cause for death or dependency of Chinese population. Risk assessment model for stroke recurrence was insufficient and effective treatment strategy was lacking. Prof. Yongjun Wang et al carried out a population-based survey and a cohort study with large sample, presented the concept of "high risk patients with acute nondisabling cerebrovascular events", established a risk accessment system for stroke, and found a new dual antiplatelet method which significantly decreased the risk of stroke recurrence by 32% without increasing bleeding events. The new method had been applied in the clinical practice widely, decreased stroke recurrence in 740 000 cases and reduced medical cost by 15 billion yuan.

Key words: cerebrovascular disease, high risk nondisabling, risk, diagnosis, treatment
