Well, strokes don't cause clots, but sometimes ischemic strokes are caused by blood clots.


When do ischemic strokes occur?

Ischemic strokes occur due to blood vessels becoming blocked while hemorrhagic strokes are the result of broken blood vessels in or near the brain.


What kinds of ischemic stroke are there?

Ischemic strokes account for approximately 80% of all strokes, and can be further broken down into two subtypes: thrombotic, also called cerebral thrombosis; and embolic, termed cerebral embolism.


What can ischemia in the arteries of the brain lead to?

What is chronic ischemic change?

Chronic microvascular ischemic changes are when there are tiny blood vessels in the brain that have ruptured or clotted. This causes very small strokes.

How many types of strokes are there?

There are three main types of strokes: ischemic, hemorrhagic, and transient ischemic attack (TIA). Ischemic strokes occur when a blood clot blocks blood flow to the brain, while hemorrhagic strokes happen when a blood vessel ruptures, causing bleeding in or around the brain. TIAs, often called "mini-strokes," are temporary interruptions of blood flow that typically last only a few minutes but can indicate a higher risk of a future stroke. Each type requires different treatments and response strategies.

What are two ways that a Cerebrovascular Accident can occur?

A Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA), commonly known as a stroke, can occur due to a blockage in a blood vessel supplying the brain (ischemic stroke) or a blood vessel in the brain rupturing (hemorrhagic stroke). Both types can lead to a lack of blood flow and oxygen to parts of the brain, causing damage and impairing brain function.


What are the Causes of cerebrovascular accident?

Cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs), or strokes, can be caused by two primary mechanisms: ischemic and hemorrhagic. Ischemic strokes occur when a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain is obstructed, often due to a blood clot, atherosclerosis, or embolism. Hemorrhagic strokes arise from the rupture of a blood vessel, leading to bleeding in or around the brain, often due to high blood pressure, aneurysms, or arteriovenous malformations. Additional risk factors include diabetes, smoking, obesity, and high cholesterol.
