Stroke is a major cause of mortality and disability globally that has multiple risk factors. A risk factor that has recently gained more attention is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Literature searches were carried out for updated PTSD information and for the relationship between PTSD and stroke. The review was divided into two sections, one exploring PTSD as an independent risk factor for stroke, with a second concentrating on PTSD's influence on stroke risk factors. The study presents accumulating evidence that shows traumatic stress predicts stroke and is also linked to many major stroke risk factors. The review contributes knowledge to stroke aetiology and acts as a reference for understanding the relationship between PTSD and stroke. The information presented indicates that screening and identification of traumatic experience would be beneficial for directing stroke patients to appropriate psychological and lifestyle interventions. In doing so, the burden of stroke may be reduced worldwide.
中风是全球范围内导致死亡和残疾的主要原因，存在多种风险因素。最近受到更多关注的一个风险因素是创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）。我们进行了文献检索，以获取有关PTSD的最新信息以及PTSD与中风之间的关系。该综述分为两个部分，一部分探讨PTSD作为中风的独立风险因素，另一部分则专注于PTSD对中风风险因素的影响。该研究提供了越来越多的证据，表明创伤性应激可预测中风，并且还与许多主要的中风风险因素有关。该综述为中风病因学提供了知识，并为理解PTSD与中风之间的关系提供了参考。所提供的信息表明，筛查和识别创伤经历将有助于指导中风患者接受适当的心理和生活方式干预。这样做可能会减轻全球范围内的中风负担。
