Abstract

The patophysiology of ischaemic stroke includes thrombosis and embolism. The risk factors
are divided into two, namely risk factors that can be modified and risk factors that cannot be
modified. Risk factors that cannot be modified are age, gender, race or ethnicity, family
history of stroke and genetic factors. While risk factors that can be modified are
hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, smoking, atrial fibrillation, valvular
heart disease, and carotid stenosis. The concept of ischemic penumbra is a basic reference in
stroke treatment, because it is a manifestation of the presence of cellular structures of
neurons that are still alive and may still be reversible if a rapid treatment is carried out. By
understanding the pathogenesis of stroke through the mechanism of cell death, it is hoped
that it can detect early and be used as a reference in the development of a policy to take
preventive measures and early diagnosis in establishing the diagnosis of cerebrovascular
disease
