98 Bowery: 1969-89. View From The Top Floor. Telling stories with pictures and a few carefully chosen words is what I enjoy doing best. Over the years I have been lucky to create many visual narratives during a varied career as an artist, journalist, curator, art historian and publisher.
Ischemic stroke is a type of stroke where blood vessels to the brain are blocked by plaques that either formed in those vessels or moved from a different body part and traveled to the brain vessels to block them, cutting off the blood supply.
Ischemic stroke occurs because of a loss of blood supply to part of the brain, initiating the ischemic cascade. Brain tissue ceases to function if deprived of oxygen for more than 60 to 90 seconds [citation needed], and after approximately three hours will suffer irreversible injury possibly leading to the death of the tissue, i.e., infarction.
