A stroke is the cause of part of your brain
being damaged. This happens when there is an interruption to the brains blood
supply. This can also happen when blood leaks out
through your blood vessel walls. You might also find this being called
Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA). This is a condition that is life-threatening
and if the oxygen to the brain is disrupted it can be fatal. You might find
that a stroke affects your speech, senses, thoughts, memory, and even your
behavior. You might even find that you
can end up with paralysis, coma, permanent damage to the brain, and death.
A stroke happens when there is an artery in
your brain that becomes clogged or bursts. This then cuts off your oxygen to
the brain. The tissues of the brain that are not getting proper oxygen will die
within only a few minutes. When this happens you will find that the brain cells
of the part of your body that is damage will not work properly.
There are a few different things that might
put you at an increased risk of having a stroke. These include but are not
limited to atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, and any fatty plaque buildup
that occurs in the arteries. There are several different causes for having a
stroke. These are cerebral embolism, hemorrhage, and cerebral thrombosis.
If you have a clot that is clogging your
artery and it has been built up in the artery of the brain this is called
cerebral thrombosis. This is known to be the cause of stroke that is most
common. This accounts for around forty
to even sixty percent of the strokes that happen. The onset of this type of
stroke is gradual.
When you have blockage that is because of a
thrombus in your artery this is known as cerebral thrombosis. You will find the
onset of this type of stroke is sudden and this is due to the fact that there
is an interruption in your brain from blood flow. The amount of strokes that are caused this
way is around 35 percent.
If
you have bleeding or hemorrhaging this is because of a blood vessel that has
ruptured. This is usually from an artery found in your brain. Many times this
type of stroke is found with high blood pressure. When this happens the recovery is found to be
a great bit slower than with other strokes and is more common once you have
reached 50. This is also known to happen most often during the day when a
person is being active and it is found to account for around 25 percent of the
strokes.
