Reporting Quality By Condition
Stroke
Health Condition: Ischemic Stroke or TIA with Atrial Fibrillation American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) females between the ages of 35-74 are at a much higher risk of dying from a stroke than females of the same age in other races of the U.S. population. When patients are hospitalized for a stroke along with atrial fibrillation, which is a certain type of irregular heart rhythm, it is important that they receive anticoagulant therapy to prevent future strokes, as described below. What is anticoagulant therapy? Who should take this medication? How do I know if my medication can prevent me from having another stroke? Why is medication important? What is the Transparency Performance Measure? How is IHS doing? |
