Brief Answer:
it may increase the risk...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

various antipsychotics including seroquel may increase the risk for cerebrovascular events. There are some conflicting data though and I can't be more specific about the risk. The risk is higher with other kinds of antipsychotics (like chlorpromazine for example).

I hope it helps!
Kind Regards!
