Approximately 30% of patients can have previous symptoms, warning, of little duration that alert the situation.
In November 2024, a study published in the magazine of the American Academy of Neurology That, by the hand of the neurologist Catriona Reddin, he found a vascular risk association with severe stroke. This research showed a more interesting result since A very common symptom was discovered Among people who had suffered a serious or mild stroke.

The most common symptom among people who have suffered a stroke is hypertension. 74% of patients suffering from this serious accident, They showed clear levels of hypertension. It is an authentic revelation since it was shown that those who have excessively high blood pressure have 3.2 times more possibilities of living a serious episode of this condition.
This research ensures that hypertension is the most important modifiable risk factor From a worldwide cardiovascular accident, that is, detecting this symptom may be related to the possible appearance of an stroke and is the most common demonstration among those affected, but also an excellent way to prevent it.
However, that does not imply that suffering hypertension directly means that you run the risk of suffering it.
