Abstract P256: Better Mid-life Life’S Simple 7 Status is Associated With Lower Risk of Recurrent Cardiovascular Disease and All-cause Mortality After Stroke: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), including stroke, is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Ideal levels of the American Heart Association’s Life’s Simple 7 (LS7) metric are associated with lower stroke risk. However, the association between LS7 and recurrent CVD and mortality after incident stroke is unclear. Hypothesis: Stroke survivors with higher LS7 scores before incident stroke would have lower risk of recurrent CVD and...
