Comprehensive Guide To Stroke Prevention
September 17, 2019
A medical emergency when blood flow to a part of the brain becomes obstructed is referred to as a stroke. When blood flow is cut off from tissues in the brain, the cells do not receive enough nutrients and oxygen to stay alive. Depending on the severity and how quickly treatment was received for a stroke, permanent damage can be extensive or limited. Immediate medical attention is required for anyone who has a stroke, as brain damage, long-term disability, or death can result from it. There are three primary classifications a stroke can fall into, including a hemorrhagic stroke, ischemic stroke, and a transient ischemic attack.
