Abstract

Cerebrovascular disease has several names and it is currently referred to as stroke, which encompasses hemorrhagic and ischemic manifestations. Women are a special population, with a relevant risk and greater prognostic implications. Comorbidities such as hypertension and atrial fibrillation have a greater impact at a vital and functional level, compared to men. Regarding management, there are no considerations that differentiate them in a definitive way, except in pregnant women (who require a special adjustment to the treatment), and in some cases there is not enough data to issue a recommendation.
