title: [Cerebrovascular disease and associated risk factors].
abstract: In this report we are analysing the clinical history of 193 patients who were admitted to our medical department due to stroke during a period of two years. The patients were divided into two groups depending on wether they had ischemic or hemorrhagic pathology, analysing the presence of vascular risk factors in both groups. From the obtained results we have to point out, in both groups of patients, hypertension together with mellitus diabetes, giving clear proof of this, being the most frequent association of risk factors. We also have to point out the low percentage of patients with a lack of all the analysed risk factors, being also, that the average age was notably superior than the global.
