Stroke Basics
A stroke occurs when the brain's blood supply is cut off, either due to a blockage or a burst blood vessel. Without enough blood, the brain cells are deprived of oxygen and begin to die rapidly. Immediate medical attention is critical because the longer the brain lacks oxygen, the more severe the damage can be. Stroke can result in permanent brain injury, serious physical or cognitive impairments, or even death.
