After subarachnoid hemorrhage delayed onset vasospasm can result in devastating ischemic stroke.

Ischemia results if blood flow to the brain is below 18 to 20 ml per 100 g per minute, and tissue death occurs if flow dips below 8 to 10 ml per 100 g per minute.

Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, and atherosclerosis is one of the major risk factors for this neurologic deficit.

Acute ischemic stroke

Chronic ischemic stroke

Large vessel ischemic stroke.

Ischemic stroke etiology.

In brain tissue, a biochemical cascade known as the ischemic cascade is triggered when the tissue becomes ischemic, potentially resulting in damage to and death of brain cells.

Ischemic stroke is a major cause of death and long-term disability worldwide.
