Case Steven Q3: Patient’s wife shares that symptoms started 1 hour ago. Patient is having type 2 diabetes, arterial hypertension, history of hepatitis B, glaucoma, mild hearing impairment, psoriasis, coxarthrosis, diabetic polyneuropathy, high cholesterol in his blood tests last year, COPD and he is smoking. Which of the following are risk factors for a cerebrovascular accident (stroke) in this patient?

Correct answer is D: Type 2 diabetes, arterial hypertension, smoking, and high cholesterol are significant risk factors for cerebrovascular accidents (strokes). Diabetes and hypertension can damage blood vessels, increasing the risk of stroke. Smoking contributes to atherosclerosis and thrombosis, while high cholesterol levels can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries, further elevating stroke risk. Other conditions mentioned, such as glaucoma and psoriasis, do not directly contribute to stroke risk.
