Aug 26, 2023

The recurrence of a stroke will depend on its cause, according to Neurologist Felipe de los Rios.

As an example, the doctor explains, if the stroke is caused by the fat plaque accumulated in the carotid artery and blocks the arteries, its shape is irregular and the clot can form on that plaque, then that risk is quite high.
