Stroke causes, artwork
Stroke causes. Artwork showing the three causes of a stroke, a loss of brain function(s) due to an interruption in blood supply. The interruption in blood supply may be due to a thrombus (blood clot, top), embolism (air bubble or loose blood clot, centre), or an aneurysm (weakened blood vessel wall, bottom), which may or may not rupture. The upper two diagram are examples of ischaemic strokes, while a ruptured aneurysm is an haemorrhagic stroke

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Stroke Causes" beautifully illustrates the three main causes of a stroke, shedding light on this serious medical condition. The print showcases the intricate network of blood vessels within the human brain, emphasizing their crucial role in maintaining proper brain function. The top section of the artwork depicts a thrombus, symbolizing a blood clot that obstructs blood flow to the brain. This type of stroke is known as an ischemic stroke and can result in significant loss of brain function if not treated promptly. In the center, an embolism is portrayed as an air bubble or loose blood clot traveling through the bloodstream until it reaches a narrow vessel and blocks it. This visual representation highlights how such blockages can lead to devastating consequences for brain health. At the bottom, attention is drawn to an aneurysm—a weakened area in a blood vessel wall that may rupture and cause bleeding into the surrounding tissue. This type of stroke is referred to as a hemorrhagic stroke and requires immediate medical intervention due to its potentially life-threatening nature. Through this thought-provoking artwork, viewers are provided with valuable insights into these different types of strokes and their impact on our overall well-being. It serves as both educational material for healthcare professionals and raises awareness among individuals about preventive measures they can take to reduce their risk factors for strokes.
