Background: Stroke is defined as rapidly developing clinical indications of focal (or global) disruption of brain function that lasts more than twenty-four hours or results in death and has no apparent cause other than vascular origin. The present study was conducted to assess risk factors in patients with ischaemic stroke. Methodology: 104 patients with ischemic stroke of both genders were included. Risk factors such as prior CVD, alcoholism, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, smoking, and family history of stroke etc. were recorded. Results: Out of 104 patients, 58 were males and 46 were females. Common risk factors were obesity in 45, alcoholism in 41, smoking in 72, past CVD in 38, dyslipidaemia in 54, family history of stroke in 17 patients, diabetes in 59, and hypertension in 81 patients. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Right side hemiplegia/hemiparesis was seen in 47 patients and left side in 57. Out of 11 cases of speech abnormality, 6 had dysarthria and 5 had aphasia. Common clinical features observed were speech disturbances in 45, altered sensorium in 13, seizures in 26, cranial nerve involvement in 31, and gait abnormalities in 27 patients. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: The majority of ischemic stroke cases were in men. Alcoholism, smoking, and hypertension were found to be common risk factors. The most prevalent clinical characteristics were hemiplegia/hemiparesis on the left side.
