Chronic hypertension is a key risk factor for all stroke subtypes, including ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Hypertension can lead to carotid artery stenosis, intracranial atherosclerosis, and aortic arch atherosclerosis, which are important causes of ischemic stroke. ...
Increased resistance to portal blood flow is the primary factor in the pathophysiology of portal hypertension, and is mainly determined by the morphological changes occurring in chronic liver diseases. This is aggravated by a dynamic component, due to the active — reversible — contraction of differe...
