BACKGROUND:Stroke triggers are factors that may precipitate a stroke within a given time interval and can predict the timing of a stroke. While hypoglycemia has been established as a risk factor for cardiovascular events such as acute ischemic stroke (AIS), there is limited research demonstrating hypoglycemic events as stroke triggers.
