Stroke and Cerebrovascular Conditions

Stroke, also known as a cerebrovascular accident, is a sudden brain dysfunction caused by a disruption in blood flow. There are two main causes of a stroke. The first is ischemic - where a blood clot stops the blood supply. The second is a haemorric stroke, where a weakened blood vessel supplying the brain bursts. A stroke can lead to various symptoms such as paralysis, speech difficulties, and coma. With millions affected each year, it is crucial to understand the risk factors, symptoms, and treatment options for stroke and other cerebrovascular conditions.
