A member asked:
What is the similarity and difference between a stroke from clot and ischemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Basically same: Usually stroke from clot refers to embolism-clot formed somewhere else & travelled to affected area. Ischaemia refers to gradual progressive closure of an artery leading to ischaemic necrosis. Often the conditions may overlap & a clot may form at the site of obstructing artery.

A member asked:
Do CGRP inhibitors (like Emgality) increase stroke risk ? Seen research that CGRP proteins protects against ischemia so theoretically inhibitors may increase risk. I'm concerned as I have migraine with aura and so an increased stroke risk. Thank you?
