Overview

Ischemic stroke is a type of stroke that occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is blocked, usually by a clot or narrowed artery, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients and causing brain cells to be injured or die. It is the most common form of stroke and can produce sudden neurological deficits such as weakness or paralysis on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, vision changes, and loss of coordination, with outcomes depending heavily on how quickly blood flow is restored. Causes include atherosclerosis, cardiac sources of clots, and arterial dissection, while risk factors include hypertension, diabetes, and other vascular conditions. Rapid diagnosis using brain imaging and timely treatment to restore circulation are central to limiting damage and improving recovery. Research in neurological care has examined ischemic stroke from multiple angles, including stroke caused by cervical carotid artery dissection, the use of computed tomography angiography within acute stroke evaluation protocols, endothelial function across stroke subtypes, mortality and care indicators among stroke inpatients, and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on stroke admissions and care. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to ischemic stroke and its diagnosis, risk factors, and management.
