    Stroke Types: 80% Ischemic

    Uploaded by

    Honey May Rollan Vicente
    The document discusses the main types of strokes, which are ischemic strokes (80% of cases) and hemorrhagic strokes (20% of cases). Ischemic strokes are further divided into thrombosis, embolism, and hypoperfusion. The most common cause of ischemic strokes is thrombosis due to atherosclerosis. Hemorrhagic strokes can be either intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) or subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Risk factors for ICH include hypertension, increasing age, certain races, amyloidosis in the elderly, and use of anticoagulants or thrombolytics.

    HTN Increasing Age Race: Asians and Blacks Amyloidosis- esp. in the elderly AVMs or tumors Anticoagulants/Thrombolitic use History of previous stroke Tobacco, ETOH, and cocaine use

    Ischemic Pathophysiology

    Neurons are very sensitive to cerebral blood flow and die within minutes of complete cessation Extent of injury depends on vessel involved and presence or absence of collateral blood flow Penumbra

    Reversibly injured neurons surrounding the primary injury with collateral circulation, which can be preserved with proper timely intervention

    Hemorrhagic Pathophysiology

    In ICH and SAH, intracranial pressure rises following vascular rupture with resulting global hypoperfusion Marked reduction in perfusion occurs near the hematoma as a result of local compression
