The Stroke Event as a Shannon Entropy

Abstract

The event of stroke is seen as a confluence of various anomalies, particularly in diabetic patients. Thus, the random confluence can also be perceived as a disorder of system that might be dictated by the Shannon entropy. In this paper, the idea that stroke is a manifestation of entropy is studied. Basically, the variables that would trigger the event are classified as the causes of disorder of system. Thus, stroke becomes a function as weight of variables. These are mainly glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol, BMI, etc. Numerical results are presented.
