Health | Blood clots are the most common cause of artery blockage and brain infarction. (references) | |
An ischemic stroke occurs when an artery supplying the brain with blood becomes blocked, suddenly decreasing or stopping blood flow and ultimately causing a brain infarction. (references) | ||
A brain infarction is an area of injury in brain tissue that usually occurs when the blood supply to that area is interrupted, depriving neurons of essential oxygen and glucose and causing vital circuits to die. Although major strokes have obvious consequences, small ones may go undetected clinically. (references) | ||
