Overview
A stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when the blood supply to the brain is disrupted. This can be due to a blood clot blocking an artery or a blood vessel rupturing. When the brain doesn’t receive enough oxygen and nutrients, brain cells can die, leading to permanent brain damage. There are two main types of strokes:
Ischemic Stroke: An ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery that supplies blood to the brain. These are strokes caused by blockage of an artery (or, in rare instances, a vein). About 87% of all strokes are ischemic.
Hemorrhagic Stroke: A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures and bleeds into the surrounding tissue. These are strokes caused by bleeding. About 13% of all strokes are hemorrhagic.

Treatments
If you think someone may be having a stroke, it’s important to act fast and call for emergency medical help. The faster a person receives treatment for a stroke, the less damage is likely to occur. Treatment may include medications to dissolve blood clots or stop bleeding, surgery to remove clots or repair damaged blood vessels, and rehabilitation to help the person recover as much function as possible. It’s important to work with a healthcare provider to manage these risk factors and reduce the risk of stroke.
