Stroke:
A stroke, also known as a cerebrovascular accident (CVA), is a neurological emergency that occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is interrupted or when a cerebral blood vessel ruptures. This results in inadequate oxygen and nutrient delivery to brain tissue, leading to neuronal injury and cell death.
Causes of Stroke
Ischemic Stroke: Caused by occlusion of a cerebral artery due to thrombosis or embolism, resulting in reduced blood flow to the brain.
Hemorrhagic Stroke: Caused by rupture of a cerebral blood vessel, leading to bleeding within or around the brain.
Risk factors include:
Hypertension
Diabetes mellitus
Hyperlipidemia
Atrial fibrillation
Cigarette smoking
Obesity
Physical inactivity
Excessive alcohol consumption
Symptoms
Sudden weakness or paralysis of the face, arm, or leg, typically on one side of the body
facial drooping
Difficulty in speaking
Sudden loss or blurring of vision in one or both eyes
Dizziness, loss of balance, or impaired coordination
