Embolic Stroke
An embolic stroke is a type of ischemic stroke that occurs when blood clot or other ingredients are formed elsewhere in the body – often travels to the brain through the heart – and bloodstream. When this clot (called an embolus) gets stuck in the artery of the brain, it blocks the blood flow, prevents oxygen from reaching the brain cells. Without oxygen, those brain cells can die quickly.
Embolic strokes are usually sudden and without warnings. Common symptoms include sudden weakness or numbness (especially on one side of the body), trouble speaking, confusion, vision problems, and difficulty walking. A type of irregular heartbeat called atrium fibrillation is a common cause of embolic stroke as it can cause clots in the heart.
This stroke is a medical emergency, and rapid treatment can save the function of the brain. Doctors can give special medication to do a procedure to break or remove it. To reduce the risk of embolic stroke, it is important to manage the heart condition, avoid smoking and take blood thinners if needed.
