Self-actualization, according to Maslow, represents the growth of an individual toward fulfillment of the highest needs. Maslow argues that only high acheivers are self-actualizers, but we are all in fact capable of self-actualization.
In a thrombotic stroke, a blood clot (thrombus) forms inside one of the brain's arteries. The clot blocks blood flow to a part of the brain. This causes brain cells in that area to stop functioning and die quickly.
Afib increases the risk of stroke. When the heart fails to contract properly, blood tends to pool in the atria. This increases the risk of forming a clot. When the heart pumps, the clot can travel to the brain, where it blocks the blood supply and causes an embolic stroke.
