Complications of acute ischaemic stroke

Cerebrovascular Diseases
H B van der Worp, L J Kappelle

Abstract

Neurological, cardiac, and systemic complications during the first days to weeks after ischaemic stroke can cause substantial morbidity and mortality. The reported 30-day case fatality rate for cerebral infarction varies between 10 and 17%. The incidence and effects of the various complications vary with time after stroke: transtentorial herniation and other cerebral complications prevail during the 1st week, whereas medical complications are more prominent in the weeks thereafter. Many complications are treatable, and some are preventable. The goal of this report is to provide information on their incidence, consequences, and management.

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Acute Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted depriving the brain of oxygen and nutrients. This feed focuses cerebrovascular accidents including ischemic and paralytic stroke.

Bladder Carcinoma In Situ

Bladder Carcinoma In Situ is a superficial bladder cancer that occurs on the surface layer of the bladder. Discover the latest research on this precancerous condition in this feed.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Antihypertensive Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Antihypertensive drugs are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) which aims to prevent the complications of high blood pressure, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Discover the latest research on antihypertensive drugs and their mechanism of action here.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.
