What Are Causes of Brain Stroke & Its Treatment
Summary: Stroke, also called cerebrovascular accident or brain attack, is a sudden impairment of cerebral circulation in one or more of the blood vessels supplying the brain. Strokes interrupt the oxygen supply to the brain tissues and can cause serious damage. For anyone who has suffered a stroke, it is vitally important to restore normal circulation as soon as possible to limit damage to the brain tissues. The number still hovers around the 30% and stroke could soon be the most common cause of death worldwide. Of those who do survive, about half remain permanently disabled and many experience a recurrence within weeks, months or years.
