Hi,

What's the most common cause of stroke? Is it due hypertension or due to diabetic artheroscelrosis ?

i think MAJOR cause of storke is interuption of blood supply... so, atherosclerosis ( thrombosis)

i think atherosclerosis too.

  #4

But atherosclerosis is increased in diabetics, but still i think the risk is higher in hypertension.

  #5

thrombotic stroke is more common than heamorragic stroke..

  #6

hypertension

  #7

Most common type of stroke is Ischemic Stroke..due to thrombus, hence Atherosclerosis is the answer.

Well , in hemorrhagic stroke due to burst of aneurysm, there the cause goes with Hypertention..

I think first we should pick up ,which is most common , then go with the cause.
Thats what I thinkrolling eyes
