Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Cardiology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Stroke represents a significant vascular epidemic in developed nations.
  • It is a leading cause of mortality in Spain, particularly for women.

Purpose:

  • To review modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for ischemic stroke.
  • To enable identification of high-risk individuals for targeted interventions.

Summary:

  • Non-modifiable factors include age, sex, genetics, race, geography, and climate.
  • Established modifiable risk factors encompass arterial hypertension, cardioembolic diseases, atherosclerosis markers, diabetes mellitus, and transient ischemic accidents.
  • Understanding these factors is crucial for stroke risk assessment.

Impact:

  • Facilitates the design of preventive and therapeutic strategies.
  • Aims to reduce the incidence and recurrence of strokes.
  • Contributes to lowering overall stroke-related morbidity and mortality.
