See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In CHS, death attributable to stroke is common. As in other studies, the most lethal stroke type was hemorrhagic, and ischemic stroke subtype, cardioembolic. Slow walking, possibly a measure of frailty, was associated with an increased ris k of death of stroke. Finally, African Americans faced a greater risk than others after an ischemic stroke.
