What Are the Types of Strokes? Strokes are medical emergencies that stop or interrupt the flow of blood to the brain. The five types are: Ischemic stroke Hemorrhagic stroke Transient ischemic attack (mini-stroke
Ischemic stroke can be further divided into subtypes based on different involved vascular territories, mechanisms, and causes. This chapter will introduce each subtype of stroke classified by different methods. An overview of each stroke subtype's pathophysiology, clinical characteristics, and imaging or...
Due to the narrowing of one of the major arteries feeding the left side of his brain, Miller had experienced an ischemic stroke. A stent was inserted into the artery to open the blockage. When he stabilized, he was sent for rehabilitation to improve the damage the s...
Discusses the types of strokes, Hemorrhagic and Ischemic. How the hemorrhagic strokes occurs; People who are most likely to have hemorrhagic strokes; Information about the two places in which hemorrhagic strokes occur; Cause of the ischemic strokes: How Atherosclerosis plays an important role in ...
Anischemic strokeoccurs as a result of an interruption of blood supply to the brain. The brain derives its supply of arterial blood from the carotid arteries (front of the neck) and vertebral arteries (back of the neck) and the branches of these arteries. At the base of the brain, these...
This study found a protective effect of oral contraceptive use for stroke OR 0.27 95% CI 0.08–0.87. There was no association between stroke and hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. Conclusion Among young adults with stroke, ischemic stroke predominated over hemorrhagic stroke. Risk factors ...

Causes of Stroke: A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off, which causes brain cells to die and brain damage. Blocked arteries due to atherosclerosis are the most frequent causes of an ischemic stroke. Stroke may result from multiple factor...
Vascular:Loss of brain cells also occurs with stroke. With ischemic strokes (CVA), blood supply to an area of the brain is lost, brain cells die, and the part of the body they control loses its function. Bleeding:Strokes can also be hemorrhagic, where bleeding occurs in the part of the...
Methods And Procedures Bengali version of Western Aphasia Battery was used for language assessment in our study participants. Lesion localization was done by using magnetic resonance imaging(3T) for ischemic stroke (if not contraindicated) and computed tomography for hemorrhagic stroke. Among 515 ...
