Even though there is not a single clear source and explanation of ischemic strokes, this paper will shed some light on the multiple different causes that could lead to an ischemic stroke. This illness can occur through other illnesses such as hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is the single most important modifiable risk factor for stroke in adults (Kupferman, Zafeiriou, Lande, Kirkham, & Pavlakis, 2017). Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to stroke by damaging and weakening your brain's blood vessels, causing them to narrow, rupture or leak (Kupferman et al., 2017). Moreover, the illness dyslipidemia can be a risk factor for ischemic stroke where elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) levels appear to increase the risk of ischemic stroke (Tziomalos et al., 2016). Furthermore, diabetes can be a risk factor for an ischemic stroke due to the clotting of blood vessels (Peters, Pelletier, Behlouli, Rossi, & Pilote,
