On the other hand, clinical studies have proven that nine out of ten strokes are preventable. The main risk factors include undetected cardiac rhythm disorders, primarily atrial fibrillation. I am enthusiastic to join Preventicus and to be in a position to significantly contribute to not only preventing cerebrovascular accidents worldwide with our comprehensive managed care programs, but also providing a solution that enables healthcare systems to significantly reduce their cost burden linked to stroke, chronic, and acute cardiovascular events."
