2. Introduction An ischemic stroke is a condition caused by a blockage in the cerebral blood vessels, leading to reduced blood flow in the brain. This results in oxygen deprivation and tissue damage. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are critical to minimizing long-term neurological deficits and improving patient outcomes. Local News You can give a brief description of the image here 01.

4. Definition and Pathophysiology Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot or other obstruction blocks a cerebral artery. This interruption impairs oxygen and nutrient delivery to brain tissue, causing cell death. The extent of damage depends on the blockage duration and location. It represents approximately 85% of all strokes globally.

5. Types of Ischemic Stroke Ischemic strokes are classified mainly as thrombotic, embolic, and lacunar. Thrombotic strokes result from clot formation within cerebral arteries. Embolic strokes arise when clots travel from other body parts. Lacunar strokes affect small penetrating arteries, often linked to hypertension and diabetes.

6. Epidemiology and Risk Factors Ischemic stroke accounts for the majority of stroke cases worldwide. Key risk factors include hypertension , diabetes mellitus , hyperlipidemia, smoking, and atrial fibrillation. Age and family history also significantly influence risk. Effective management of these factors is essential for stroke prevention and reducing its global burden. Local News You can give a brief description of the image here 01.

8. Symptoms and Warning Signs Common symptoms include sudden weakness or numbness, especially on one side of the body, speech difficulties, vision problems, dizziness, and severe headache. Early recognition of these signs is crucial for timely intervention to prevent severe brain damage. Local News You can give a brief description of the image here 01.

9. Laboratory and Imaging Tests Diagnostic evaluation includes blood tests to assess coagulation and metabolic status. Imaging such as CT scans and MRI are essential to distinguish ischemic stroke from hemorrhagic stroke and determine affected brain areas, guiding treatment decisions.

10. Treatment Strategies and Management Treatment focuses on restoring blood flow using thrombolytic agents or mechanical thrombectomy. Secondary prevention includes antiplatelet therapy, statins, and lifestyle modifications. Rehabilitation addresses neurological deficits to improve functional recovery.

11. Conclusions Ischemic stroke is a medical emergency requiring rapid diagnosis and targeted treatment to reduce mortality and disability. Understanding risk factors and early symptoms enables prevention and better outcomes. Comprehensive care combines acute intervention with long-term management to optimize recovery and quality of life. Local News You can give a brief description of the image here 01.
