Stroke is of 3 types:
-thrombotic
-embolic
-haemmorhagic
relation of each of these to:
-diet-sodium
-potassium
-magnesium
-calcium
-plasma triglycerides
-plasma cholesterol
-plasma HDL-cholesterol
-plasma LDL-cholesterol
-plasma Lp(a)
-plasma VLDL-triglyceride
-BMI(kg/m2)
-waist circumference(cm)
-platelet reactivity
