Timeline of systemic complications following stroke. Systemic responses to ischemic stroke present clinically within hours and continue developing well beyond hospital discharge. Though some are transient in nature, many complications progress chronically into the months and years that follow. This timeline summarizes the onset and evolution windows of clinical manifestations (e.g., pneumonia) and associated pathologies (e.g., immunosuppression).
