A stroke may be caused by factors such as abnormal or ruptured blood vessels. If a stroke occurs, immediate medical attention is essential. If within the thrombolytic time window, thrombolysis may be considered. For milder cases, antiplatelet therapy with aspirin may be an option. Plaque can be managed by taking lipid-regulating statin medications, along with neuroprotective measures to promote blood circulation.
