Need advice to what are the risk factors of a stroke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A short list: The most common risk factors include uncontrolled hypertension, smoking, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, poorly controlled lipid profile and coagulopathies. There are many more, some are specific to certain situations. The above are common and can be treated, others like increasing age, can not be treated. There is no approved treatment for primary prevention, only secondary.
