🔹 What is a Stroke (Brain Attack)?

A stroke, also called a brain attack, occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is suddenly blocked or when a blood vessel bursts.

Without oxygen, brain cells begin to die within minutes, making stroke a medical emergency.

Types of Stroke:
1. Ischemic Stroke
– Caused by a blood clot or blockage in an artery. (80–85% of cases)

2. Hemorrhagic Stroke – Caused by a ruptured blood vessel leading to bleeding in the brain.

3. Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) / Mini Stroke – Temporary blockage; often a warning sign for a major stroke.

मेंदूचा झटका (Stroke / Brain Attack) म्हणजे काय?

मेंदूला रक्त पुरवठा अचानक थांबल्यामुळे किंवा मेंदूत रक्तवाहिन्या फुटल्यामुळे मेंदूचा झटका होतो.
यामुळे मेंदूच्या पेशींना ऑक्सिजन आणि पोषण मिळत नाही आणि मेंदूच्या पेशी काही मिनिटांत मरू लागतात.
याला Brain Attack असेही म्हणतात.
