The pathological mechanism of the stroke.

The background health or ill-health of the patient.

The frequency of stroke by type is:

Ischemic: 84% Thrombotic: stroke, cerebrovascular accident, CVA, ischemic stroke, brain attack 53%

Embolic: 31%

Hemorrhagic: 16% Intracerebral 10%

Subarachnoid 6% Stroke

37% of strokes are hemorrhage, 63% are caused by infarction. Of the infarctions, 40% Stroke were primary large vessel or small stroke, cerebrovascular accident, CVA, ischemic stroke, brain attack vessel occlusion and 23% were thought to be embolic. Stroke The mechanism of stroke production was unknown in 24%. Stroke Stroke
