What is a stroke?

  • Rapid death of brain tissue due to a disturbance in blood supply
  • Two main types:
    • Ischemic Stroke (loss of blood flow) – Most common 80%
    • Hemorrhagic Stroke (bleeding) – 20%
  • Brain cells start to malfunction after about 3 mins from loss of oxygen supply and glucose
  • Most of the time irreversible (neurons die after about 4mins without oxygen)
