Hypertension is a disease of blood tubes, called vessels,.
They cause inner layer of blood vessel damage.
These ulcers cause , sludging of blood flow, and the lnormal laminated flow of blood called Haemorheology gets affected.
In this process, wHITE BLOOD CELLS, gets deposited in these ulcers, in the mesh of fibrin thread, which forms and hearlds the clot formation.
Most of them are atheromatous ulcers, supported or promoted by hypertension. Apart from this, hypertension results in hemorrhage also inside the brain due to rupture of the vessels.

Causes of infarction in brain?
The most common cause of brain infarction is stroke, which is when blood supply to the brain is interrupted. A ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel carrying blood to the brain is blocked by a blood clot. A hemmorhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel breaks open, causing blood to leak into the brain. The risk of stroke increases with high blood pressure, age, family history, smoking, heart disease, diabetes, and high cholesterol. Drug and alcohol abuse, bleeding disorders, and head injuries can also cause bleeding into the brain.
