A stroke is a medical condition that occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. This can result in brain damage and potentially permanent neurological deficits, such as paralysis, speech difficulties, or cognitive impairment. Strokes can be caused by a blockage in a blood vessel (ischemic stroke) or by the rupture of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). Immediate medical attention is crucial in treating a stroke to minimize damage and improve outcomes.

Stroke
A stroke is a medical condition in which the blood supply to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, causing damage to brain tissue. It is a type of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and can be either ischemic or hemorrhagic.
Ischemic Stroke:
- Caused by a blockage in an artery supplying blood to the brain, usually due to a blood clot or plaque buildup.
Hemorrhagic Stroke:
- Caused by a rupture of a blood vessel in the brain, leading to bleeding within the brain tissue.
Symptoms:
- Sudden onset of neurological symptoms, such as:
- Weakness or numbness on one side of the body
- Difficulty speaking or understanding speech
- Vision problems
- Dizziness or loss of balance
- Confusion or memory loss
- Headache
Types of Stroke:
- Thrombotic Stroke: A blood clot forms in an artery that supplies blood to the brain.
- Embolism: A blood clot or other particle travels from another part of the body to the brain and blocks an artery.
- Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A blood vessel in the brain ruptures and bleeds into the brain tissue.
- Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A blood vessel on the surface of the brain ruptures and bleeds into the space between the brain and the skull.
Causes:
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Diabetes
- Smoking
- Heart disease
- Atrial fibrillation
- Carotid artery disease
- Sickle cell disease
Risk Factors:
- Age
- Sex (men are at higher risk than women)
- Race (African Americans are at higher risk than Caucasians)
- Family history of stroke
- Personal history of transient ischemic attack (TIA)
Treatment:
- Depends on the type and severity of the stroke.
- May include:
- Medications to dissolve blood clots or prevent bleeding
- Surgery to remove a blockage or repair a ruptured blood vessel
- Physical and occupational therapy to regain function
- Speech therapy to improve communication
- Behavioral therapy to address cognitive and emotional changes
