Exploring the Multifaceted Causes of Ischemic Stroke: A Narrative Review.

Neurologists are well-versed with acute ischemic stroke, a serious public health concern. Effective acute stroke treatment is built on the rapid application of reperfusion therapy. This calls for prompt symptom recognition by the general population as well as emergency workers, proper referral to specialized stroke centers, and thorough examination and assessment by the on-site stroke team. The main goal of treatment for certain individuals is to restore blood flow to the ischemic penumbra by using intravenous thrombolysis and/or endovascular thrombectomy. Acute stroke patients must be hospitalized and continuously monitored for early neurological decline in order to avoid subsequent problems. After swiftly determining the stroke mechanism, patients can start the proper secondary preventative actions.
