Abstract
Clinical subtypes of stroke and their risk factors in Eastern Croatia were analysed. Study comprised 130 patients with stroke, who were treated at University Hospital Osijek and General Hospital Slavonski Brod. Hemorrhagic stroke was presented in 17.69% (intracerebral hemorrhage in 16,15%) and subarachnoid hemorrhage in 1,54%) and ischemic stroke in 82,31%. Collected data showed high incidence of lacunar and cardioembolic subtypes of stroke and risk factors for stroke connected with unhealthy lifestyle. Extremely high incidence of arterial hypertension (77,69%) and hypercholesterolemia (45,38%) was found.
