Abstract

Stroke is the third most frequent cause of death worldwide and the most frequent cause of permanent disability. Modification of lifestyle and risk factors treatment in the world has led to the reduction of stroke incidence and mortality of stroke. The economic burden is tremendous as well as influence on private and social life, since many patients require chronic care and long-term institutionalization. Stroke prevention begins with recognition of its risk factors by a patient and clinicians treating the patient, most patients having a stroke have multiple risk factors therefore it are of great
importance to recognize all of the stroke risk factors and to educate the patient and the family how to control them.
