List some factors that can lead to a stroke.
What will be an ideal response?
Factors that can lead to a stroke include blocked arteries (by a thrombus or cerebral embolism), easily clotting blood cells, and weak heartbeats that are unable to keep blood circulating through the body, allowing pools of blood to form and clot. Hypertension contributes to strokes because the force of blood may break weak vessels.
