Question

How does stroke affect the normal functioning of the body's circulatory system? Science wise?

thanks xx

Answer 1

I think the main circulatory effect of a stroke is on venous circulation. Venous circulation is dependent on muscle tone. Since a sequalea of CVA is muscle paralysis or flaccidity, blood in the venous system moves sluggishly, ergo more blood is on the venous side, less on the arterial side. The sluggish movement leads to other complications, from thrombosis, edema, to pulmonary problems.

Hope this helps a bit.

Answer 2

Is this in reference to a CVA, and if so, would you kindly specify the location of the region of injury?
