Introduction: The stroke is globally one of the most important factors of morbidity and mortality. Stroke is a clinical syndrome characterized by sudden invasion of a focal deficit lasting at least 24 hours and due to impaired brain function. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate risk factors and imaging media for the event of stroke Method: We studied 128 patients (90 men) with a mean age 55 ± 15 years. In all patients were performed by a CT scan of the brain and triplex in the heart and carotid. As risk factors (RF) were evaluated hypertension (HTN), diabetes mellitus (DM), coronary heart disease (CHD), chronic renal failure (CRF) and dyslipidemia (DL). Results: The risk factors combined were tested and found that 40.6% of patients had a RF with the frequent hypertension (69%), followed by diabetes (11%), CHD (16.4%) and DL (0 %) and CKD (3.6%). Of the patients with two RF (17.9%) combinations were HTN-DM (57.1%), HTN-CHD (14.3%), HTN-DL (28.6%). The percentage of patients who had three RF (7.1%) was: HTN-DM-CHD (55.6%), HTN-DM-DL (33.3%) and HTN-DL-CHD (11.1%). Four RF had 1.6%, while 32.8% had no RF. Of the 128 patients 19 (14.8%) had an abnormal heart triplex and 29 (22.6%) abnormal carotid triplex, while 8.6% had an abnormal triplex of heart and carotids. Conclusions: Patients with pathologically triplex are more likely to experience a stroke. Since failure to timely diagnosis of risk factors spearheaded by hypertension, promotes the appearance of pathological findings of the vascular system, impose an immediate treatment of these in order to reduce the incidence of stroke.
