Stroke
Ischemic stroke is a sudden reduction of blood flow to the brain. This leads to brain cell damage. It is most often caused by blood clots or narrowing the blood vessels that supply the brain.
Some medical conditions, most commonly high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation (AF) and diabetes, increase the risk of having an ischemic stroke. People who have already had one stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA or mini-stroke) are at risk of having another stroke. People who smoke also increase their risk of stroke.Common symptoms are a sudden, one-sided muscle weakness of the arm, leg, and face, imbalance, slurred speech or difficulty speaking. Some people may have seizures, become drowsy or lose consciousness.Diagnosis is based on the symptoms, physical examination, and a computer tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain.Ischemic stroke is an emergency which is managed in hospital. Emergency treatment is given to thin the blood and break up blood clots. Ischemic stroke is an emergency which is managed in hospital.
