<h3>What is a Stroke ?</h3>

A stroke is when a portion of the brain loses blood supply. It occurs when a blood clot narrows an artery in the brain or when pressure builds up there due to a blood vessel in the head bleeding. Both scenarios result in the death of brain cells and either temporary or permanent brain damage.

  • A blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or a blood vessel leak or burst are the two basic causes of stroke (hemorrhagic stroke). Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), which are brief interruptions in blood supply to the brain that don't persist long, can occur in some persons.
