AB Cerebrovascular  diseases  include  some  of  the  most  common  and  devastating  disorders:  ischemic  stroke  and  hemorrhagic  stroke.  Stroke  is  the  second  leading  cause  of  death  worldwide,  with  6.2  million  dying  from  stroke  in  2015,  an  increase  of  830,000  since  the  year  2000.  In  2016,  the  lifetime  global  risk  of  stroke  from  age  25  years  onward  was  25%,  an  increase  of  8.9%  from  1990.  Nearly  7  million  Americans  age  20  or  older  report  having  had  a  stroke,  and  the  prevalence  is  estimated  to  rise  by  3.4  million  adults  in  the  next  decade,  representing  4%  of  the  entire  adult  population.  Conversely,  case-specific  disability-adjusted  life-years  due  to  stroke  are  falling,  likely  due  to  better  prevention  and  treatment,  but  overall  disease  burden  will  continue  to  climb  as  the  population  ages,  and  stroke  is  likely  to  remain  the  second  most  common  disabling  condition  in  individuals  aged  50  or  older  worldwide.
