Causes of strokes include ischemia (loss of blood supply) or hemorrhage (bleeding) in the brain occurs. People at risk for stroke include those who have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and those who smoke. People with heart rhythm disturbances, especially atrial fibrillation are also at risk.
A stroke occurs when the flow of blood to part of the brain is significantly reduced or blocked. Often, this results in the death of brain cells, which can lead to permanent damage or even death. The most common cause of stroke is a blood clot. AFib puts patients at an increased risk for stroke because blood may not be properly pumped out of the heart, which may cause it to pool and form a clot. This clot can then travel to the brain and block the flow of blood to part of the brain which can result in a stroke.
