Yes. In what's called an Atrial Septal Defect, a clot, such as a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can travel up the inferior vena cava from the legs, into the right atrium, get shunted through the hole into the left atrium, into the left ventricle and out into circulation where it would travel up the carotids into the brain causing stroke.
What else can I help you with?
What distinguishes a stroke from a heart attack?
Yes.Because the arteries in the heart are cloggedA stroke is a disruption of the blood supply to the brain can cause part of the brain not to function. A heart attack is an interruption of the blood supply to the heart due to for example, blockage of artery leading to the heart. Causes heart cells to die.
Can you die from diabetes if you have had it for a long time?
You can, but it had to be due to Heart Failures, Stroke, etc.....
Why is it difficult to exercise with a hole in your heart?
Exercising with a hole in your heart or other heart conditions can be difficult due to the danger it presents. This is because the heart gets over exerted and has to work double to perform correctly.
What causes stroke volume to decrease?
Stroke volume can decrease due to factors such as dehydration, heart failure, or certain heart conditions that weaken the heart muscle. Other factors include excessive bleeding, severe infections, or certain medications that affect heart function.
What are some health problems that will happen in life due to stress and how do you fix it?
stroke and anger overload
How are hypertension heart disease and stroke are related?
Due tohypertension pressure in the blood vessels has increased. And as such it may rupture and lead to cerebral hemorrhage. Which leads to stroke.
Why does the ozone hole happen?
The ozone hole happened when CFC's introduced. It caused due to depleting property of CFC's.
What pairs of conditions share the same causal factors due to secondary aging?
heart disease and stroke
Is stroke volume usually larger than cardiac output?
No, cardiac output is the product of stroke volume and heart rate. Stroke volume refers to the amount of blood pumped by the heart in one beat, while cardiac output is the total amount of blood pumped by the heart in one minute. Typically, cardiac output is larger than stroke volume due to the inclusion of heart rate in the calculation.
Why do you have a increased stroke volume?
An increase in stroke volume can be due to factors such as increased cardiac contractility (force of heart contractions), decreased afterload (pressure the heart must overcome to eject blood), or increased preload (volume of blood returned to the heart). These factors can result in more blood being pumped out by the heart with each contraction, leading to an increased stroke volume.
Why does a person suffer from stroke?
A stroke occurs when there is a disruption of blood flow to the brain, leading to brain cell damage. This can happen due to a blockage in a blood vessel (ischemic stroke) or a rupture of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). Risk factors include high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, high cholesterol, and certain heart conditions. Prompt medical attention is crucial to minimize brain damage and improve recovery outcomes.
How can smoking cause a stroke?
yes. at least that's what i was told. You can have a stroke due to smoking. If you smoke it affects your lungs. And then you have stroke. DON'T SMOKE!!!!!!!
