Introduction

A stroke caused by an insufficient supply of blood & oxygen to a part of the brain, generally result of cerebrovascular disease.

Etiology

* Editorialist not impressed. Absolute risk is very low, No evidence that attempt to treat would mitigate risk.[58]

Epidemiology

  • 3rd most common cause of death
  • most common cause of adult disability
  • most preventable of catastrophic conditions
  • 75% of all strokes are ischemic
  • persons with type A blood have 16% higher risk for early-onset stroke than persons with other blood types[118]
    • persons with type O blood have 12% lower risk[118]
  • states with high stroke mortality[93]
    • Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, South Carolina, or West Virginia

Pathology

Genetics

Clinical manifestations

Laboratory

Diagnostic procedures

* it is not clear how or why the events were triggered

Radiology

Complications

Differential diagnosis

Management

* unfractionated heparin & low-molecular-weight heparin not as effective as aspirin for acute ischemic stroke[12]

* LMW heparin for DVT prophylaxis, do not use warfarin, DOAC not FDA-approved
