Chronic diseases affect a numerous number of individuals around the world. An ischemic is considered as the third leading cause of death in the United States among other chronic diseases. Even though this chronic disease affects every ethnicity, the African American population and females are more likely to have a stroke than any other population (Mir, Al-Baradie, & Alhussainawi). A stroke can range from acute to chronic in its severity. Though some strokes result in the death of an individual many people also survive them. Individuals that survive a stroke must learn …show more content…
Most adults who have a stroke are between the ages of forty to eighty, but children can also have a stroke (Macrez, Ali, Toutirais, Le Mauff, Defer, Dirnagl, & Vivien 2011). A stroke occurs within the individual when the brain is not receiving enough oxygen or nutrients which slowly causes deterioration of the individual’s brain cell (Macrez, Ali, Toutirais, Le Mauff, Defer, Dirnagl, & Vivien 2011). There are three forms of strokes; ischemic, hemorrhagic, and TIA which is abbreviated for transient ischemic attack. An ischemic stroke is the most common out of the three. An ischemic stroke occurs when arteries are being blocked and this causes does not allow the brain to get enough blood. A hemorrhagic stroke happens when blood vessels began to weaken and cause bleeding which prevents oxygen from going to the brain as well as blood that it needs to function properly (Macrez, Ali, Toutirais, Le Mauff, Defer, Dirnagl, & Vivien …show more content…
A thrombotic stroke develops when a formed blood clot within the brain blocks the infected or injured cerebral arteries (Iadecola & Anrather 2011). The medical terminology for a thrombotic stroke is cerebral thrombosis and it is responsible for over fifty percent of strokes that occur among the adult population (Iadecola & Anrather 2011). Cerebral thrombosis is divided into two sections and they relate to where the blockage is occurring inside the brain. They are known as large and small vessel thrombosis. A large-vessel thrombosis is when blockage occurrs in the middle cerebral or carotid which is one of the brain’s larger blood supplying arteries (Iadecola & Anrather 2011). The small-vessel thrombosis involves the brain’s cavernous and small
