Presentation: Stroke Risk Factors, Pathophysiology, and Management

This presentation analyzes the case of Mr. Joni, focusing on his risk factors for stroke, including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, and alcohol consumption. It identifies the potential development of ischemic heart disease and coronary artery disease due to these factors. The presentation delves into the pathophysiology of stroke, explaining how reduced blood flow and lack of oxygen can lead to myocardial infarction. It then establishes goals for Mr. Joni, such as reduced blood pressure and lifestyle changes, and outlines actions including medication (clopidogrel and felodipine), dietary modifications, smoking cessation, and patient education. The presentation concludes with a discussion of how clinical reasoning aids in understanding and managing stroke risk factors, and it references several studies to support its findings.
