A 26 page research proposal. The
existence of silent stroke has been known for years, but recent findings indicate that it could be
epidemic in the US. Silent stroke formerly was believed to have no bearing on whether an
individual would later suffer an acute and symptomatic brain attack that possibly could result in
lasting disability, but current research indicates that silent stroke is indeed a predictor of
subsequent symptomatic stroke. This research proposal reviews the evolution of treatment
guidelines, lists risk factors and provides a review of literature addressing silent stroke. Appendix
contains a survey instrument and several charts and tables. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
