ischemic blood flow to the brain is blocked by a clot or plaque build up; thrombotic
(vascular stenosis) or embolic (a-fib, hypercoagulation, BC pills, malignancy)


hemorrhagic caused by bleeding in or around the brain; no thrombolytics, tighter BP control,
CT for surveillance


unmodifiable stroke risk factors age, sex, prior stroke, family history




modifiable stroke risk factors HTN, heart disease/peripheral vascular disease, dyslipidemia, diabetes, carotid
stenosis, sleep apnea, smoking/chew/alcohol, cocaine/meth/marijuana, BC


anterior circulation of the brain common carotids, internal carotids, MCAs, ACAs
