Risk factors for stroke Kauvery Hospital


Stroke has become the major cause of death and disability among adults worldwide. A stroke is a brain condition that happens suddenly. It might be due to a blockage or leak in the blood vessels supplying blood to the brain. But stroke can be prevented with some lifestyle changes.


Risk factors for stroke Hypertension: This is the most common cause of stroke. People with blood pressure levels over 140/90 should get it treated. People with diabetes should maintain their blood pressure level below 130/80. If the cholesterol level is high then the risk increased manifold.


Smoking, alcohol consumption, and drugs: Long-time smoking can block the carotid arteries and this may lead to coronary artery disease. People who consume tobacco, pan, and other such things are also prone to heart diseases. Binge and frequent alcohol consumption can damage blood vessels, heart valves, and other parts of the body like the nerves in the brain. It can also cause mental and family issues because of the mood changes.


Heart valve conditions: Arrhythmia and atrial fibrillation are common among older people. These can also cause stroke. There are other factors like genetic problems and more that cannot be controlled. But these are very rare causes of stroke.
