Is the stroke caused by a blood clot?

Cerebral thrombosis is a kind of stroke, also known as stroke, and it is an acute cerebrovascular disease. The most common cause of stroke is that a small embolus falls off the inner wall of the cerebral blood supply vessel, which leads to arterial embolism, that is, ischemic stroke, that is, cerebral thrombosis.

It may also be caused by cerebrovascular or thrombotic bleeding, which belongs to hemorrhagic stroke. Heart valves in patients with coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation are very prone to mural thrombosis. After the embolus falls off, it will block the cerebral vessels, which will also lead to ischemic stroke and cerebral thrombosis. Other factors such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, etc.

Hypertension is the most important risk factor for stroke in China population, especially the abnormal increase of blood pressure in the morning. It is found that hypertension in the morning is the strongest independent predictor of stroke events, and the risk of ischemic stroke in the morning is four times that in other periods. Every morning blood pressure increase of10mmhg increases the risk of stroke by 44%.
