Stroke is the second most common cause of mortality and the third most common cause of disability worldwide. Stroke has modifiable and non-modifiable factors. Stroke risk factors that can be modified include hypertension. Hypertension can lead to endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. Hypertension is also influenced by a dynamic and complex interaction between environmental and genetic risk factors. Since there are numerous contributing factors to hypertension, it is a preventable risk factor for stroke.
