Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a major complication in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) population. A better understanding of clinical risk factors associated with AIS may help mitigate risk of stroke. We reviewed prospectively collected data of 477 LVAD patients from a tertiary center from...
Strokes come in two basic forms: ischemic and hemorrhagic. Ischemic stroke is a stroke where blood vessels are blocked. Typically, this comes from blood clots that lodge in the narrow vessels near the brain. Ischemic strokes can occur in several ways, including: • Increased cholesterol (a ...
Care guide for Ischemic Stroke. Includes: possible causes, signs and symptoms, standard treatment options and means of care and support.
Hemorrhagic strokes are when a perforated vessel allows blood to leak out. 出血性中风指血液 从破损的血管中渗出, 1:20 But the more common type is the ischemic stroke, 但缺血性中风更常见, 1:23 when a clot blocks a vessel and bri...
Causes of a Severe Stroke The two major causes of a severe stroke are clogged or burst arteries. When an artery delivering blood to the brain is clogged, usually by a blood clot, and causes a stroke, it is called ischemic stroke. A burst artery that results in stroke is called ...
What is a Transient Ischemic Attack and how does it affect the brain (what areas of the brain)? What are the causes of a myocardial infarction? What is an aneurysm? What could cause one? What is a heart stroke? explain its treatment and prevention. What is a myocardial infarction and it...
Brain:This can cause astroke. Legs:Doctors call this “critical limb ischemia.” It’s a severe condition you can get withperipheral artery disease(PAD). That’s a condition where you have plaque build-up in the arteries of your leg. It causes intensepain, even when you’re resting. If...
During an ischemic stroke, a blockage stops blood from flowing into or through parts of the brain. If you’ve read up onheart attacks, you’ll likely notice some similarities here. You may even see stroke referred to as a “brain attack.” The reason: Both are the result of blocked art...
What are the main causes of stroke? There are two main causes of stroke:a blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or leaking or bursting of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). Some people may have only a temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain, known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA...
What are the causes of myocardial ischemia? How does myocardial ischemia lead to myocardial infarction? What is the pathophysiology of rheumatic heart disease? What is the pathophysiology of a transient ischemic attack? What is silent myocardial ischemia?
