stroke
What happens when the brain cells are deprived of oxygen and glucose needed to survive die and aren't caught early enough
high blood pressure
permanent brain damage
This stroke is similar to a heart attack in which the blood vessels of the brain get clots and block the blood flow to the brain.
ischemic stroke
hemorrhagic stroke
This type of stroke is the most common and is the cause of 80% of all strokes
This stroke occures when a blood vessel in the brain breaks or ruptrues resulting in blood seeping into the brain tissue causeing damage to the brain cells.
