Stroke/ Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA)/ Cerebrovascular Insult (CVI)/ Brain Attack


 Introduction



  • A stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures and bleeds, or when there’s a blockage in the blood supply to the brain. The rupture or blockage prevents blood and oxygen from reaching the brain’s tissues.
  • Brain cells begin to die in minutes.
  • A stroke is a medical emergency, and prompt treatment is crucial. Early action can reduce brain damage and other complications.
Types of Stroke
  • Transient ischemic attack (TIA) involves a blood clot that typically reverses on its own.
  • Ischemic stroke involves a blockage caused by either a clot or plaque in the artery. The symptoms and complications of ischemic stroke can last longer than those of a TIA, or may become permanent.
  • Hemorrhagic stroke is caused by either a burst or leaking blood vessel that seeps into the brain.
