A stroke is a type of brain attack that occurs when the blood vessels in the brain are blocked or burst, depleting the brain of oxygen-rich blood and causing brain cells to die. There are different types of strokes, including: • Ischemic stroke – caused when a blood vessel to the brain is blocked. This type of stroke accounts for about 87% of all strokes. • Hemorrhagic stroke – caused when a weakened blood vessel ruptures. • Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) – caused by a temporary clot. It’s considered a “warning stroke” and should be taken seriously. #strokes #typesofstrokes #strokeawareness
