Most common type of stroke, usually when plaque buildup or blood clots block or severely narrow a blood vessel; results in critically reduced blood flow and death of brain cells.
A type of stroke caused by blockage of a blood vessel in the brain. This type of stroke accounts for 80% of all strokes.
(Cerebral infarction): an interruption or blockage of blood flow in the tissues of the brain.
A condition in which the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off. Also called "plug-type" strokes. Blocked arteries starve areas of the brain controlling sight, speech, sensation, and movement so that these functions are partially or completely lost. Ischemic stroke is the most common type of stroke, accounting for 80 percent of all strokes. Most ischemic strokes are caused by a blood clot called a thrombus, which blocks blood flow in the arteries feeding the brain, usually the carotid artery in the neck, the major vessel bringing blood to the brain. When it becomes blocked, the risk of stroke is very high.
A stroke caused by an insufficient supply of blood and oxygen to a part of the brain.
stroke caused by the blockage of an artery. Reference: H1
stroke caused by the formation of a clot that blocks blood flow through an artery to the brain.
Ischemia in the tissues of the brain.
A stroke that occurs when part of the brain is suddenly deprived of blood.
A stroke that results from blockage in an artery supplying the brain.
a neurological disorder related to ischemia (insufficient vascularization) and destruction of a portion of the brain tissue (cerebral infarction).
