Cellular Injury During Ischemia
Cellular Changes During Ischemia
Injury from ischemic stroke is the result of
a complex series of cellular metabolic events that occur rapidly
after the interruption of nutrient blood flow to a region
of the brain. The duration, severity, and location of
focal cerebral ischemia determine the extent of brain function
and thus the severity of stroke.

Shown is a summary of the cascade of cellular
changes as ischemia progresses.
