Based on this line -- "血菀(瘀)于上", it can be put simply as:

-- upward-migrating embolism of qi and blood


FYI:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embolism
Emboli starting in the heart (from a thrombus in the left atrium secondary to atrial fibrillation or septic emboli from endocarditis) can cause emboli in any part of the body.

An embolus landing in the brain from either the heart or a carotid artery will likely cause an ischemic stroke.
