What is stroke?

Stroke occurs when flow to a part of brain is stopped either by a blockage or rupture of a blood vessel

Types of strokes

• ISCHEMIC STROKE: It occurs when a blood clot blocks a blood vessel and prevents blood and oxygen from getting to a part of brain
• HAEMORRHAGIC STROKE: It occurs when a blood vessel ruptures due to high blood pressure or blebs in the blood vessel (Aneurysm)
• EMBOLIC STROKE: An embolic stroke occurs when a blood clot that forms elsewhere in the body breaks loose and travels to the brain via the bloodstream.
