Which of the following are risk factors for stroke
Question : Which of the following are risk factors for stroke? (Select all that apply)
A. Atrial fibrillation
B. Hyperlipidemia
C. Young age (<45 years old)
D. Previous transient ischemic attack (TIA)
Answer: ABD
Explanation: Risk factors for stroke include atrial fibrillation (thrombus formation and embolism), hyperlipidemia (atherosclerosis), previous TIA (warning sign of stroke), hypertension, diabetes, and advanced age. Young age (<45 years old) is not a risk factor; the incidence of stroke increases with age. Hence, the correct answers are ABD.
