PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

Precipitating Factors: - Hypertension - Hyperlipidemia - Diabetes Mellitus - Heart Diseases - Atherosclerosis - Arteriosclerosis - Thrombosis - Severe dehydration Predisposing Factors: - Life style (sedentary) - Vices (Alcohol, smoke) - Age - Diet - Sex - Heredity - Self-medication

VASOCONSTRICTION

Blockage of the blood vessel Embolism Lack of oxygen & nutrients supply

Ischemic Stroke

High blood pressure, smoking, heart diseases, diabetes, narrowing of arteries supplying the brain, high cholesterol and an unhealthy lifestyle.

Cerebral Ischemia - Cell death - Decreased Oxygen level Intracerebral hemorrhage

Hypoxia Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Altered cerebral metabolism Venous Stroke Decreased cerebral perfusion Large Artery Strokes
High blood pressure, smoking, and a family history of burst aneurysms.

Severe dehydration, severe infection in the sinuses of the head and medical or genetic conditions that increase a persons tendency to form blood clots.

Hypertension, diabetes, smoking and high cholesterol levels.

P A R A L Y S I S

Local Acidosis Transient Ischemic Attack Same with Ischemic stroke

Cytotoxic Edema

Aneurysm Rupture

Small Artery Stroke

Hypertension, diabetes and smoking.

Embolic strokes

Irregular heart beat (atrial fibrillation), a heart attack (myocardial infarction), heart failure or a small hole in the heart called a PFO (Patent Foramen Ovale).

Brain tissue Necrosis

DEATH

Severe Cases
