Abstract

Stroke is a major cause of death and disability worldwide.
In the United States, it ranks fifth among leading causes of
death in men and fourth in women (1). In Croatia, cerebrovascular diseases were the second main cause of mortality
in 2018, leading to fatal outcome in 13.3% of women and
9.9% of men. Stroke burden is further increased by the fact
that one third of the patients remains disabled
