What Are the Treatments for Cerebral Ischemia?
Cerebral ischemia, most commonly known as stroke, is the deficit supply of blood to the brain or part of the brain that is due to obstruction of the inflow of arterial blood. The most common cause of cerebral ischemia is atherosclerosis, a condition in which your arteries become clogged and hardened as a result of abnormal fatty deposits, according to MedlinePlus. Cerebral ischemia or brain attack is a leading cause of adult disability in the United States, killing nearly 150,000 people each year, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center.
