Are Strokes Genetic?

Written By Sara Graham

Today we're going to be talking about the question, “Are strokes genetic?” Strokes themselves are not genetic, however, there are several risk factors for strokes that may have a higher prevalence in some groups of people.

These risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. If you have any of these medical conditions, please talk to your doctor or medical provider about how to manage them in order to reduce your risk of stroke. You can also manage these risk factors by being physically active, managing stress, limiting alcohol consumption, and avoiding tobacco.

If you have any other questions about stroke or stroke recovery, please check out our website at  STEPSforRecovery.com or watch our other YouTube videos on this page. Thanks, and I hope you have a great day.
