      1. atherosclerotic plaques in large blood vessels in brain
      2. small penetrating artery thrombotic
        1. most common, 1+ vessels affected
        2. cardiogenic embolic
          1. cardiac dysrrhythmias usually A. fib,
          2. cryptogenic
            1. cause unknown
            2. Pathophsyiology
              1. Ischemic cascade
                1. cerebral blood flow decr. to <25ml/100g/min, anaerobic resp = lactic acid incr = pH change
              2. CM's
                1. numbness/weakness of face, arm, leg esp. unilaterally
                  1. mental status change

                    2. Hemorrhagic Stroke
                      1. chiefly caused by uncontrolled HTN
                        1. longer recovery phase/more severe deficits than ischemic
                          1. s/s - decr LOC, exploding HA
