Abstract

Stroke is known worldwide as the leading cause of premature death and disability. Developing countries are  most  exposed to the dual burden of infectious and non-communicable diseases. Poor people are increasingly affected by stroke due to changing  risk factors in the population and, most tragically, not being able to afford the high costs of stroke treatment. Despite significant improvements in primary prevention and acute care over the last few decades, stroke remains a catastrophic illness. Unchangeable risk factors for stroke are some established and changeable risk factors for age, gender, race, ethnicity, heredity, and  ischemic stroke.
