17
Q

How do we diagnostic atrial fibrillation?

18
Q

Formation of the blood clot in the left atria is called

A

atrial fibrillation

19
Q

The most common artery for atrial fibrillation is

A

common carotid

20
Q

Explain the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation

A
  1. Formation of blood clot in the heart
  2. Blood clot travels from the heart to the brain
  3. Blood clot blocks blood flow in the brain
21
Q

Colateral flow which sustains metabolic viability but no electrical activity

A

Ischemic penumbra

22
Q

Regions without adequate collaterals which irreversibly injured

A

Ischemic core

Small vessel disease is common in patients with

A

high blood pressure and diabetes

24
Q

Hialine deposits in the wall of the vessels

A

lipohyalinosis

25
In small vessel disease high blood pressure lead to
lipohyalinosis
26
Small vessel disease can manifest in
lacunar stroke and microatheroma.
