Abstract
Stroke is a clinical syndrome characterized by a neurological deficit in the brain in general or overall that develops rapidly and lasts for at least 24 hours due to vascular events,both spontaneous bleeding in the brain and inadequate blood supply to the area.Based on epidemiological data,the type of stroke that has a high prevalence rate in ischemic stroke, which is around 87%.Ischemic stroke has modifiable risk factors,one of which is hypertension. Hypertension is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke. This study aims to determine the description of hypertension in ischemic stroke patients at the Dustira Hospital Neurology Polyclinic.The method in this research is descriptive. The sample in this study was 102 medical records of ischemic stroke patients who had a history of hypertension and met the inclusion criteria.Sampling was done by systematic random sampling technique.The results of this study indicate that the sex of ischemic stroke sufferers in Dustira Hospital is more common in men as much as 51%.Most of the patients with ischemic stroke were in the age group 55-64 years and 65-74 years with a percentage of 27.5%. Overall, patients with ischemic stroke suffer from stage 2 hypertension with a percentage of 52% and an average systolic pressure with an interval of 153.53-162.54 mmHg while diastolic pressure has an interval of 91.19-95.71 mmHg.Based on these results, hypertension is one of the risk factors for ischemic stroke by triggering the formation of atherosclerotic plaque which causes blockage of blood vessels resulting in an ischemic state in the brain.
