This document outlines the risk factors, pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, and complications of left side body weakness due to cardiovascular disease. Key predisposing factors include older age and diabetes. Contributing factors are falls, accidents, sedentary lifestyles, and use of blood thinners. A precipitating event could be confusion or weakness leading to a traumatic head impact. This can disrupt blood flow in the brain and cause a mild stroke, leaving the patient with left sided weakness, confusion, speech problems, and fatigue. Complications may include memory loss if the condition is not properly addressed.
