A stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when the blood supply to the brain is disrupted, leading to brain cell damage or death. It can have severe and lasting effects on a person’s physical and cognitive abilities. There are three main types of stroke:
This is the most common type of stroke, accounting for about 85% of cases. It occurs when a blood clot blocks or narrows a blood vessel in the brain, restricting blood flow to the affected area.
This type of stroke happens when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures and causes bleeding. It can be caused by conditions such as high blood pressure, aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).
Also known as a “mini-stroke,” a TIA is a temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain.
