Overview

Risk factors for stroke include advanced age, hypertension (high blood pressure), previous stroke or TIA (transient ischaemic attack), diabetes mellitus, high cholesterol, cigarette smoking, atrial fibrillation, migraine[1] with aura, and thrombophilia. In clinical practice, blood pressure is the most important modifiable risk factor of stroke; however many other risk factors, such as cigarette smoking cessation and treatment of atrial fibrillation with anticoagulant drugs, are important.

Risk Factors

  • Risk factors for stroke include:

  • Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy
  • Fabry disease
  • Retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukodystrophy
