STROKE

IT OCCUR WHEN THE BLOOD FLOW TO THE BRAIN IS INTERRUPTED

There are two types of stroke:

· Ischemic stroke(narrow):blood in blocked and so that can´t reach the brain.

If the clot is formed in the cerebral artery is called thrombosis,

but if this clot come from another part of the body is colled embolism.

This is the most common type

· Hermorrhagic(bleed):blood vessels that carry blood to the

brain break.Usually cause worse issues

This problems can be due because a bad nutrition as colesterol and other

things clot the arteries and make it more difficult for the blood to pass through.

25% of the people who have an ictus died and 40% suffer serious disabilities

SYMPTOMS.
