What is Ischemic Cerebrovascular Stroke?
According to Mayo Clinic, An ischemic stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is blocked or reduced. This prevents brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. Brain cells begin to die in minutes. Another type of stroke is a hemorrhagic stroke. It occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or bursts and causes bleeding in the brain. The blood increases pressure on brain cells and damages them.
Symptoms of the stroke include:
- Trouble speaking and understanding what others are saying
- Numbness, weakness or paralysis in the face, arm or leg
- Problems seeing in one or both eyes
- Headache
- Trouble Walking
- Dizziness, loss of balance
A stroke is a medical emergency. It’s crucial to get medical treatment right away. Getting emergency medical help quickly can reduce brain damage and other stroke complications.
