Health Alert Stroke
Stroke occurs due to a decrease or blockage in the brain’s blood supply. A person experiencing a stroke needs immediate emergency treatment.
A stroke occurs when a blockage or bleed of the blood vessels either interrupts or reduces the supply of blood to the brain. When this happens, the brain does not receive enough oxygen or nutrients, and brain cells start to die.
There are three main types:
Ischemic stroke
Hemorrhagic stroke
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
