About 80% of all first ever lifetime strokes are ischemic, 10% are due to primary intracerebral haemorrhage, about 5% are due to subarachanoid haemorrhage and in the remainder there is an uncertainty. After coronary heart disease and all cancers, stroke is the common cause of death in the world causing about 4 million deaths, three quarter of them in developing countries.
