Answer: Embolic stroke

Step-by-step explanation:

Embolic stroke is a form of stroke thqt occurs when a debris or a blood clot travels from one body part and then stays in the narrower brain artery, thereby blocking the flow of blood into the brain.

It should be noted that Atrial fibrillation, rheumatic heart disease, and valvular prosthetics are risk factors for embolic stroke.
