Definition

Stroke is a life-threatening illness characterized by a sudden disruption in the blood supply to the brain. The WHO defines stroke as rapidly developing clinical signs of focal (at times global) disturbance of cerebral function, lasting more than 24 h or leading to death with no apparent cause other than that of vascular origin (Hatano 1976).

Overview

Stroke is the second leading cause of death in the world (Wu et al. 2019; GBD 2016 Causes of Death Collaborators 2017; Zhou et al. 2016; Feigin et al. 2014), which accounts for almost 5% of all disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and 10% of all deaths worldwide (GBD 2016 Causes of Death Collaborators 2017; GBD 2017 DALYs and HALE Collaborators 2017). Stroke comprises ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. About 80% of strokes are ischemic strokes. Etiological subtypes of ischemic stroke are classified according to the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment Stroke (TOAST)...
