A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is either stopped or interrupted. As a result, the brain cells die due to a lack of oxygen and nutrients supply resulting in permanent disability or even death.
There are two types of stroke: ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke.
It is caused by a blockage in a blood vessel. Ischemic stroke is the most common type of stroke
When a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, it causes bleeding.
Often called a “mini-stroke,” a TIA is a brief episode of reduced blood flow that resolves within 24 hours.
A stroke with no identifiable cause after thorough testing, sometimes linked to heart conditions.
