A 72-year-old man presents to the emergency department with acute onset of right sided weakness. The patient was eating breakfast when he suddenly lost strength on the right side of his body such that he was unable to move his right arm or leg. He also noted a loss of sensation in the right arm and leg and difficulty speaking. His wife called 911, and he was brought to the emergency department. His medical history is remarkable for long standing hypertension, hypercholesrolemia, and recently diagnosed coronary artery disease. On physical examination, his blood pressure is 190/100. Neurologic examination is notable for right facial droop and a dense right hemiparesis. Ct scan of the brain shows no evidence of hemorrhage. The patient is admitted to the neurologic ICU. What are some risk factors for this condition?
