What is an ischaemic stroke?
There are two different types of strokes, a hemorrhagic stroke which is a burst blood vessel, bleeding in the brain, this type of stroke makes up about 20% of strokes is the western world. An ischaemic stroke is a blood clot in the brain cutting off the blood flow.
The reason why I'm only looking at ischaemic strokes is because I am looking at these patients after they have received a procedure in the emergency room that dissolves or removes the blood clot. How are these new treatments impacting on the presentation of Aphasia?
