Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Cardiology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Stroke and cerebrovascular disease management has significantly advanced.
  • Technological revolutions in the 1990s transformed diagnostic capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the new era of stroke treatment driven by technological advancements.
  • To detail the diagnostic tools and key data elements for logical treatment of brain ischemia.

Main Methods:

  • Advanced brain imaging: computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and its modalities (fluid attenuating inversion recovery imaging, diffusion, perfusion, functional MRI, magnetic resonance spectroscopy).
  • Vascular lesion definition: spiral CT angiography, MR angiography, extracranial and transcranial ultrasonography.
  • Cardiac and aortic source evaluation: transesophageal echocardiography.

  • Hematologic testing for coagulability and thromboembolism.

    • Main Results:

    • Imaging techniques accurately define stroke localization, severity, and ischemia reversibility.
    • Vascular and cardiac imaging identify stroke-causing lesions.
    • Hematologic tests provide insights into thromboembolic factors.
    • Clinicians can now identify critical data for treating brain ischemia.

    Conclusions:

    • Diagnostic advances have led to new treatments and a better understanding of conventional ones.
    • A comprehensive understanding of lesion characteristics, ischemic mechanisms, and blood components is crucial for effective stroke management.
