Cerebrovascular Stroke
A cerebrovascular stroke, commonly known as a stroke, occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. This leads to the rapid death of brain cells, which can result in significant neurological damage and loss of function.
There are two main types of strokes:
- Ischemic Stroke
- Hemorrhagic Stroke
Risk Factors
Several risk factors increase the likelihood of having a stroke, including:
- High blood pressure:
- Diabetes
- Heart disease that travels to the brain.
- Smoking
- High cholesterol
- Obesity
- Age: Risk increases with age, particularly after 55.
- Family history: Genetics can play a role in stroke risk.
- Previous stroke or TIA: Having had a previous stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) increases the risk of another stroke.
