In this informative video blog, Dr. Kushal Pandya, a proficient Consultant in Emergency Medicine at Aster Whitefield Hospital, provides a comprehensive overview of Strokes. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. Without proper blood flow, brain cells begin to die within minutes, making prompt medical attention essential.
Types of Strokes
The two primary types of strokes are Ischemic stroke and Hemorrhagic stroke. Ischemic stroke accounts for 85% of all strokes and occurs when there is a clot in the blood vessel. On the other hand, hemorrhagic stroke occurs when there is a rupture of blood vessels in the brain. Dr. Kushal also states the available treatment approaches.
