Introduction
A stroke caused by an insufficient supply of blood & oxygen to a part of the brain, generally result of cerebrovascular disease.
Etiology
- thrombus related to atherosclerosis of large arteries (30%)
- internal carotids
- aortic arch {uncommon}[24]
- large intracranial arteries
- cervicocephalic arterial dissection
- embolus from cardiac source (20%)
- secondary hemorrhage may occur
- patent foramen ovale[24][31],
- cryptogenic stroke, all ages, epecially < 55-60
- atrial septal aneurysm in 28-40% of ischemic strokes in patients < 55 years of age
- patent foramen ovale & atrial septal aneurysm frequently occur together
- multiple cardiac emboli are suggested by 2 or more areas of ischemic infarction
- myocardial infarction[11] resulting in LV systolic dysfunction
- atrial fibrillation[11]
- 25% of patients with cryptogenic embolic stroke have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation[3][60][77]; 12-16%[66]
- cardiac surgery increases risk of atrial fibrillation[3]
- lacunar (small vessel) (20%)
- other (30%)
- pharmacologic:
- hypercoagulable state
- arteritis
- cervical artery dissection due to trauma
- fibromuscular dysplasia
- migraine
- Moya Moya disease
- children's medical visits for respiratory tract infection (within 3 days) confer 12-fold increase in risk for ischemic stroke[68]*
- idiopathic in 50% of patients < 55 years of age[41]
- embolic stroke of undetermined source[3]
- suspect embolus from cardiac source (see above)
- paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in 25% of patients with idiopathic stroke[54][77]
- embolic stroke of undetermined source[3]
- also see risk factors for ischemic stroke
* 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
- infarction of a vascular territory of the brain due to ischemia
- an ischemic zone surrounds an infarct & secondary phenomena increase the severity of the irreversible injury
- these secondary phenomena include excitotoxin-induced neuronal injury, cerebral edema & altered local blood flow
- morbidity & mortality associated with massive hemispheric ischemic strokes is due to brain tissue edema resulting in brainstem & diencephalic compression[23]
Genetics
- susceptibility to ischemic stroke associated with
- defects in protein kinase C-eta (PRKCH)
- defects in P-selectin (SELP)
- genetic variations in ALOX5AP
- defects in factor V
- defects in prothrombin
- polymorphisms in IL4
- defects in CECR1 (lacunar infarcts)
Clinical manifestations
- focal or multifocal neurologic deficit evolving over second to minutes, persisting > 24 hours
- sensory involvement of affected areas may result in sensory deficits
- motor involvement of affected areas may result
- paresis, paralysis, generally unilateral
- dysarthria, dysphagia
- transient improvement in renal function may occur in patients with renal insufficiency (central regulation hypothesized)[85]
- suspect vertebrobasilar stroke in older patients with acute onset vertigo[3]
Laboratory
- telomere length in peripheral blood mononuclear cells allegedly predicts cognitive decline, dementia & death after stroke[27]
- difficult to envision mechanism
Diagnostic procedures
- prestroke trailmaking B test may predict risk of first stroke & mortality after first stroke
- cardiac rhythm monitoring (in hospital telemetry) for atrial fibrillation
- at least 24 hours of Holter monitoring[88]
- prolonged outpatient cardiac rhythm monitoring indicated for patients with embolic stroke[3]
- 30-day event-triggered recorder more sensitive than 24 hour HOLTER*
- 6 months of monitoring with an insertable cardiac monitor[6]
- 10 day HOLTER monitoring 3 times within 6 months[90]
- atrial fibrillation identified in 25% if patients with idiopathic stroke
- swallowing evaluation for dysphagia after stroke[3]
* it is not clear how or why the events were triggered
Radiology
- head CT to rule out intracranial hemorrhage[3]
- magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- may be useful to identify patients who might benefit from endovascular thrombolysis up to 12 hours after an ischemic stroke[49]
- CT or MRI within 8 hours after onset of stroke symptoms to predict which patients might benefit from endovascular thrombolysis does not improve outcomes[53]
- diffusion-weighted imaging may be more sensitive
- magnetic resonance angiography or CT angiography useful for evaluating extracranial & large intracranial arteries[3]
- indicated for arterial thrombectomy
- angiography is the gold standard for delineating vascular anatomy, but rarely used (associated with small risk of stroke)[3]
- identify collateral circulation to determine likely benefit of thrombectomy (see Management)
- carotid ultrasound
- transcranial doppler ultrasound showing increased flow velocity can confirm magnetic resonance angiographic findings
- transthoracic echocardiogram
- identifies atrial septal defect in young adults with stroke
- transesophageal ultrasound not routinely indicated
- can also detect aortic arch thrombi: thrombi > 3 mm are suspect
Complications
- cerebral edema or cerebellar edema resulting in increased intracranial pressure may occur after major ischemic stroke
- conversion to hemorrhagic stroke, usually within 48 hours
- delirium occurs in 12% of patients admitted to stroke unit; associated with poor prognosis[40]
- seizures early after stroke
- less common with ischemic stroke than hemorrhagic stroke (4% vs 15%)[43]
- more common with cortical stroke than subcortical stroke (19% vs 10%)
- do not predict mortality or function at 6 months[43]
- risk of pneumonia is highest in the 1st week after stroke[120]
- poststroke dementia due to cerebrovascular disease[45]
- anxiety & depression common[3][46]
- major depression with psychosis is a further complication
- fatigue after stroke due to depression, sleep apnea, heart failure[3]
- recurrence of stroke
- risk highest with atherosclerotic stenosis of large artery of >70%[3]
- risk of recurrent stroke lower with atrial fibrillation diagnosed after stroke than before[98]
- death, recurrent stroke, MI, or admission to a care facility more common in stroke (without 90 day complications) than in controls 10% vs 5% at 1 year, 24% vs 14% at 3 years & 36% vs 21% at 5 years[92]
- reemergence or recrudescence of stroke symptoms in the setting of an intercurrent illness[103]
- atrial fibrillation diagnosed after stroke (10%)[98]
- neurogenic mechanism suggested[98]
Differential diagnosis

- nitroprusside 0.5-10 ug/kg/min
- monitor closely
- nitroprusside effective for malignant hypertension, but may increase intracranial pressure[8]
- avoid hypotension[3][58]
- see risk factors for & prevention of ischemic stroke for long-term post ischemic stroke blood pressure control
- do not attempt to acutely lower blood pressure unless
- glycemic control
- tight glycemic control (< 130 mg/dL) no better than standard control (< 180 mg/dL) during 1st 72 hours after stroke[102]
- MKSAP 16 recommends maintaining blood glucose < 140 mg/dL at least for 1st 24 hours[3]
- tight glycemic control (blood glucose 72-135 mg/dL) of no benefit immediately after ischemic stroke[74]

- avoid for 2-7 days if hemorrhagic transformation involving hematoma[3]
- clopidogrel (Plavix) 75 mg PO QD superior to aspirin[3][32]
- aspirin 325 mg QD
- 650 mg BID for intracranial arterial stenosis
- 160-300 mg QD, started within 48 hours of onset improves long-term outcome[75]
- aspirin reduces risk of recurrent stroke by 93% at 2 weeks & 74% at 12 weeks relative to placebo[86]
- aspirin + dipyridamole superior to aspirin alone in preventing recurrent stroke[3]
- dual antiplatelet therapy
- American Heart Association endorses dual antiplatelet therapy for 21 days[3]
- dual antiplatelet therapy increases risk of systemic bleeding ~5-6 events per 100 patient-years relative to monotherapy[97]
- dual antiplatelet therapy decreases risk of stroke at the cost of increased risk for major hemorrhage (09% vs 0.2%)[99][106]
- dual antiplatelet therapy may not increase risk of intracerebral hemorrhage[97]; it does[106]
- short-term (up to 3 weeks) dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin plus clopidogrel or ticagrelor for minor ischemic stroke,then aspirin alone[101][106]
- 30 day outcomes for dual antiplatelet therapy with ticagrelor + aspirin 75-100 mg for moderate ischemic stroke better than aspirin alone[110]
- dual antiplatelet therapy should not be used in patients with major stroke due to increased risk for intracranial bleeding[101]
- long-term dual antiplatelet therapy does not decrease risk of stroke but increases risk of hemorrhage & death vs single antiplatelet agent[3]
- presence of an acute infarct on index imaging is associated with an increased risk of recurrent stroke & a more pronounced benefit from dual antiplatelet therapy[112]
- all patients within 24 hours, unless contraindicated[3][59][105]
- patients should receive high-intensity statin with aspirin in the acute post-stroke period[3][44]

- SSRI to improve outcomes in patients with stroke controversial[61]
- fluoxetine 20 mg PO QD for 90 days starting 5-10 days after stroke may diminish motor disability[39]
- fluoxetine of no benefit at 6 months[108]
- ginkgo biloba extract (450 mg QD) + aspirin associated with less cognitive decline following stroke than aspirin alone[95]
- thrombolytic therapy (within 1st 4.5 hours)
- blood pressure reduction predicts poor prognosis:[14]
- reduction in blood pressure (both systolic or diastolic) during the 1st 24 hours associated with negative outcomes
- antihypertensive therapy does not seem to affect either blood pressure or outcome during the 1st 24 hours[14]
- lowering systolic blood pressure by 10-20% within 24-48 hours does not affect morbidity or mortality[121]
- initial blood pressure < 150/70 mm Hg associated with increased mortality
- do not initiate antihypertensive treatment in the 1st 48 hours unless
- systolic BP > 220 mm Hg, diastolic BP > 120 mm Hg (MKSAP19)[3]
- acute coronary syndrome, aortic dissection, end-organ damage[3]
- if patient eligible for thrombolysis for ischemic stroke
- systolic BP < 180 mm Hg, diastolic BP < 105 mm Hg with pressures maintained for 24 hours after therapy[3]
- intensive control of systolic blood pressure to <120 mm Hg after endovascular thrombectomy may compromise functional recovery[117]

- magnitude of chronic cognitive impairment after stroke cannot be determined for at least 3 months[44]
- childhood & young adult ischemic stroke associated with similar prognosis, 55% considered favorable by Rankin scale scores[80]
- depression is prevalent & treatment of depression is one of the long-term modifiable disability factors[3]
- advance directives documented with a minority of patients[87]
* unfractionated heparin & low-molecular-weight heparin not as effective as aspirin for acute ischemic stroke[12]
