An ischaemic stroke happens when a blood clot, or other blockage, cuts off the blood supply to your brain. This is the most common type of stroke.

Treatment for ischaemic stroke aims to restore blood flow to your brain. Learn about thrombolysis, thrombectomy and medication to reduce your risk of another.

Diagnosing an ischaemic stroke quickly is vital. Find out about the brain scans and tests doctors use to identify a clot and plan treatment.

Ischaemic strokes happen when a blood clot blocks blood flow to the brain. Understand the causes including atrial fibrillation and narrowed arteries.

Professor Jesse Dawson, Dr Alan Cameron and the OASIS team hope to find a better way to identify who’s at risk of atrial fibrillation so that more stroke survivors can receive treatment to reduce risk of another stroke.
