Abstract

Stroke is one of the most common neurological diseases and is becoming more and more medico-social and economic. According to WHO statistics, 15 million strokes occur in the world for a year with different causes. One of the frequent causes is arterial hypertension, which affects about 12.7 million people, 6.2 million of whom end up deadly. In 80% of patients, stroke is due to the risk factors of stroke: smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity. The risk of stroke is twice as high in smokers as in non-smokers.
