    Pathophysiology of CVA

    Uploaded by

    Youssry Jaranilla
    This document summarizes the pathophysiology of stroke. It lists precipitating factors like hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease that can increase risk. Predisposing factors include lifestyle, diet, age, sex, and heredity. There are several types of strokes including ischemic from blockages, hemorrhagic from bleeding, and venous from clots. Specific risks for each type are outlined. The pathophysiological process involves reduced blood flow leading to hypoxia, cell death, brain tissue necrosis, and potentially death in severe cases.

    PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

    Precipitating Factors: - Hypertension - Hyperlipidemia - Diabetes Mellitus - Heart Diseases - Atherosclerosis - Arteriosclerosis - Thrombosis - Severe dehydration Predisposing Factors: - Life style (sedentary) - Vices (Alcohol, smoke) - Age - Diet - Sex - Heredity - Self-medication

    VASOCONSTRICTION

    Blockage of the blood vessel Embolism Lack of oxygen & nutrients supply

    Ischemic Stroke

    High blood pressure, smoking, heart diseases, diabetes, narrowing of arteries supplying the brain, high cholesterol and an unhealthy lifestyle.

    Cerebral Ischemia - Cell death - Decreased Oxygen level Intracerebral hemorrhage

    Hypoxia Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Altered cerebral metabolism Venous Stroke Decreased cerebral perfusion Large Artery Strokes
    High blood pressure, smoking, and a family history of burst aneurysms.

    Severe dehydration, severe infection in the sinuses of the head and medical or genetic conditions that increase a persons tendency to form blood clots.

    Hypertension, diabetes, smoking and high cholesterol levels.

    P A R A L Y S I S

    Local Acidosis Transient Ischemic Attack Same with Ischemic stroke

    Cytotoxic Edema

    Aneurysm Rupture

    Small Artery Stroke

    Hypertension, diabetes and smoking.

    Embolic strokes

    Irregular heart beat (atrial fibrillation), a heart attack (myocardial infarction), heart failure or a small hole in the heart called a PFO (Patent Foramen Ovale).

    Brain tissue Necrosis

    DEATH

    Severe Cases
