After a stroke, you could experience neurological and circulatory complications. Common complications related to these systems include brain swelling, headaches, dizziness, seizures and blood clots in the legs.
Stroke volume is intrinsically controlled by preload (the degree to which the ventricles are stretched prior to contracting). An increase in the volume or speed of venous return will increase preload and, through the FrankâStarling law of the heart, will increase stroke volume. Decreased venous return has the opposite effect, causing a reduction in stroke volume.
