The 59 pages that link to The Strokes, each with the reason it gives.

• HypertensionRelated: High blood pressure is a major modifiable risk factor for stroke.

• Neurological examinationRelated: A focused examination can identify sudden focal deficits and help characterize their distribution.

• EpilepsyRelated: Stroke can leave structural damage that later contributes to epilepsy.

• Atrial fibrillationRelated: Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of ischemic stroke through heart-derived emboli.

• Blood pressureRelated: Long-term hypertension raises the risk of both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.

• Emergency medical servicesRelated: EMS recognition and rapid routing can shorten delays to time-sensitive stroke treatment.

• Central nervous systemRelated: It demonstrates how rapidly lost blood supply can damage central nervous system tissue.

• DysphagiaRelated: Brain injury can disrupt the coordination and sensation required for safe swallowing.

• Emergency medicineRelated: Rapid recognition in the emergency department can preserve access to time-sensitive treatment.

• Sickle cell diseaseRelated: Sickle cell disease can obstruct cerebral vessels and cause childhood stroke.

• Emergency departmentRelated: Time-sensitive assessment can identify candidates for treatments that limit brain damage.

• First aidRelated: Recognizing sudden symptoms and seeking emergency care quickly can limit treatment delays.

• Hypertrophic cardiomyopathyRelated: Atrial fibrillation can allow clots to form and travel to the brain.

• NeuroanatomyRelated: The location of a stroke helps explain its particular neurological impairments.

• Aortic dissectionRelated: Extension into arteries supplying the brain can cause stroke.

• Corticospinal tractRelated: A stroke affecting corticospinal fibers can cause weakness on the opposite side of the body.

• SpasticityRelated: Damage to descending motor pathways can produce spasticity after a stroke.

• Primary aldosteronismRelated: The excess cardiovascular risk associated with primary aldosteronism includes greater risk of stroke.

• Visual field testRelated: A visual field pattern can reveal damage to visual pathways after a stroke.

• BrainRelated: It shows how quickly disrupted circulation can damage brain tissue.

• Broca's aphasiaRelated: Damage to the left frontal language network after stroke is a common cause.

• Catheter ablationRelated: Clot formation or embolism during the procedure creates a small but serious risk.

• Wernicke's aphasiaRelated: Stroke is a common cause of acquired language-network damage leading to this syndrome.

• ArrhythmiaRelated: Atrial fibrillation can permit blood clots to form and travel to the brain.

• Cardiovascular systemRelated: Vascular blockage or rupture can abruptly deprive brain tissue of oxygen.

• ChiropracticRelated: Stroke is the serious outcome considered in discussions of cervical manipulation safety.

• HomocysteineRelated: Elevated homocysteine is associated with stroke risk, but causality and treatment benefit remain uncertain.

• Motor cortexRelated: Damage to motor cortex or its pathways can produce weakness on the opposite side of the body.

• Emergency medical technicianRelated: Early recognition and rapid hospital transport can affect access to time-sensitive treatment.

• ParamedicRelated: Recognizing stroke signs quickly can affect treatment options after hospital arrival.

• EthinylestradiolRelated: Estrogen-containing contraception can raise ischemic stroke risk, especially with certain risk factors.

• AgeusiaRelated: A lesion affecting central taste pathways can cause taste loss.

• Hypertensive heart diseaseRelated: The same chronic hypertension that damages the heart is a major cause of stroke.

• HemiplegiaRelated: A stroke is a leading cause of sudden hemiplegia.

• Human brainRelated: Its effects show how damage to different brain regions changes function.

• Sick sinus syndromeRelated: Atrial fibrillation associated with the syndrome can increase embolic stroke risk.

• Brain (anatomy)Related: The affected vessel and tissue location determine the resulting neurological deficits.

• Health effects of smoking tobaccoRelated: Smoking raises the risk of both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.

• HypoesthesiaRelated: A stroke can abruptly reduce sensation on one side of the body.

• Passive smokingRelated: Exposure to secondhand smoke raises the risk of stroke.
