Ischemic strokes occur when blood supply is cut off to part of the brain. This type of stroke accounts for the majority of all strokes. The blocked blood flow in an ischemic stroke may be caused by a blood clot or by atherosclerosis, a disease which causes narrowing of the arteries over time.
What is the most common cause of ischemic stroke?
Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks or narrows an artery leading to the brain. A blood clot often forms in arteries damaged by the buildup of plaques (atherosclerosis). It can occur in the carotid artery of the neck as well as other arteries. This is the most common type of stroke.
What is pathophysiology of ischemic stroke?
Pathophysiology of ischaemic stroke
The common pathway of ischaemic stroke is lack of sufficient blood flow to perfuse cerebral tissue, due to narrowed or blocked arteries leading to or within the brain. Ischaemic strokes can be broadly subdivided into thrombotic and embolic strokes.
