Cardiac Embolism and Stroke - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This full color medical exhibit depicts the mechanism of cardiac embolism and stroke in two images. A large illustration of a male figure from the chest up demonstrates with arrows how thrombus in the left atrium can travel to the brain and cause a stroke. A diagram of the front of the head with a cutaway view of the brain depicts a cerebral embolus blocking blood supply to the brain and the subsequent wedge-shaped area of ischemia.
