Stroke is a clinical syndrome rather than a specific disease. This article reviews risk factors for stroke, and the different pathologies that can cause stroke. Approximately 20% of strokes are due to cerebral haemorrhage, most of which is intracerebral, with a significant minority caused by subarachnoid haemorrhage. The remaining 80% are ischaemic, including large artery disease, cardioembolic and...
Stroke is an important cause of death and disability. However, about two thirds of cerebrovascular events are initially minor. They carry a high risk of potentially severe recurrent events, but they also offer an opportunity for secondary prevention to avoid such recurrences. As most recurrent events occur within a short time after the initial presentation, secondary prevention has to be started as...

It results from many different disease processes; 80% are ischaemic and 20% are caused by cerebral haemorrhage.
