Acute Ischemic Stroke Overview

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a time-critical neurological emergency resulting from sudden focal cerebral hypoperfusion, most commonly due to thrombotic occlusion of a cerebral artery or cardioembolic events — notably from atrial fibrillation — leading to irreversible infarction of brain tissue within a penumbra of potentially salvageable neurons. The underlying pathophysiology involves excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and disruption of the blood-brain barrier, culminating in progressive neuronal death if perfusion is not rapidly restored. Clinically, patients present with sudden-onset unilateral weakness, facial droop, speech disturbance (dysarthria or aphasia), visual deficits, or altered consciousness — captured practically by the FAST mnemonic. Urgent non-contrast CT excludes haemorrhage, while CT angiography and perfusion imaging delineate the ischaemic core and penumbra to guide reperfusion decisions. Intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase remains a cornerstone of early management within an established therapeutic window, alongside mechanical thrombectomy for eligible large-vessel occlusions, both contingent on rigorous inclusion criteria. Secondary prevention addresses modifiable risk factors — hypertension, dyslipidaemia, diabetes, and anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation. Functional prognosis varies considerably with stroke severity, time-to-treatment, and pre-morbid status; multidisciplinary rehabilitation, early mobilisation, and patient-centred goal-setting are essential to optimising neurological recovery and long-term quality of life, with vigilant monitoring for complications including dysphagia, venous thromboembolism, and post-stroke depression.
