Clot Induced Stroke

A simple explanation, the heart pump pushes oxygen rich blood through the arterial system at tremendous pressures. So it will take a considerable blockage to stop it. So how do clots form? Tracing an artery it is seen that its diameter shrinks as it penetrates the brain so a tiny piece of plaque will pass through the artery, till it is very thin and affecting a small part of the brain, where is clots, causing a stroke of minor intensity.

A larger piece of plaque clots in the artery with larger diameter effecting a mid-sized part of the brain inducing stroke of medium intensity.

So, closer to where the artery enters the brain, and thus provides a major part with oxygen. A clot of larger plaque here induces a stroke of major intensity.

There are, of course, innumerable shades of stroke intensity between the two postulated ends.

I also know that there are interconnected systems of arteries which I ignored. So what? A clot is a clot wherever it is and it should be dissolved. Besides this is a simple story. Further explanations may or may not arise. My effort has sufficed as true. Disclosure. My physio says my stroke is of medium intensity.

P.S. Marcus “What do you make of this lot?” and to my sub-editors “How would you rescue this lot from the waste bin” be kind.

That is an interesting question, but I have to be careful about what I write or some people would take my comments in a negative way. 

 

Some of us like to open up and share our thoughts, ideas, and concerns of that bloody stroke, while others just like to read these blogs and forums. For my writing, reading, thinking, and conversations with others, EnableMe has been excellent. Without it, we wouldn't be having this conversation, you in Australia and I in Japan. 

 

I would love if people could continue their conversations rather that a question, thank you, and disapper in the Internet. 

 

I hope this answer is good enough for you!

 

Don't give up on us. We are doing our better.
