Abstract: Stroke is the number one cause of adult life impairment in the United States and Europe and is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Around 15% of strokes are hemorrhagic and 85% are ischemic. This study aimed to overview and demonstrate the etiology and risk factors of Acute Ischemic Stroke, and we also aimed to review the most common complication associated with AIS, or following it. A comprehensive search was conducted through major databases; Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE, Ovid Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, through December, 2016,). The search strategy used Mesh terms; stroke, ischemic stroke, transient ischemic stroke, combined with Etiology, AND Complications. Conference proceedings of major neurology, neurosurgery, and stroke organizations were searched manually to identify relevant abstracts and potential articles. Markers of inflammation have been revealed to be risk markers of stroke. In epidemiological studies, the leukocyte count was connected with the risk of first-time myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke, a result that was independent of smoking cigarettes and other vascular risk factors shown in several studies. stroke risk factors may influence the interaction between inflammatory cells and the surrounding resident cerebrovascular cells, causing increased susceptibility to inflammatory stimulation and to the development of atheromatous plaques in big arteries and intimal thickening with local apoplexy in smaller arterioles.
Keywords: Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE, Ovid Cochrane, Acute ischemic stroke, Etiology and complications.
