AB  - Disease  summary:Stroke  is  an  umbrella  term  for  the  rapid  loss  of  neurologic  function  in  a  particular  vascular  territory,  with  symptoms  lasting  greater  than  24  hours.The  causes  of  stroke  are  broadly  defined  as  either  ischemic  or  hemorrhagic.Clinical  manifestations  depend  on  the  vascular  territory  affected,  with  the  middle  cerebral  artery  (MCA)  being  most  commonly  affected.Management  of  stroke  involves  identifying  the  onset  and  duration  of  symptoms,  assessing  and  maintaining  normal  vital  signs,  evaluating  whether  the  patient  with  acute  stroke  is  a  candidate  for  thrombolysis,  and  longer-term  risk  factor  management.
