A brain stroke, also known as a cerebrovascular accident (CVA), occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced. This disruption prevents brain tissue from getting the oxygen and nutrients it needs, leading to the death of brain cells within minutes. There are two main types of strokes: ischemic, caused by a blockage in an artery, and hemorrhagic, caused by a burst blood vessel.
Symptoms of a stroke can appear suddenly and may include difficulty speaking, weakness or numbness on one side of the body, vision problems, and severe headache. It’s crucial to seek immediate medical attention if you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, as timely treatment can significantly reduce the risk of long-term disability.
