Various kinds of strokes

Know that there are two or possibly three different kinds of strokes, not just one.

Stroke due to decreased blood flow.

85% of strokes are caused by a condition known as cerebral infarction. So, it is the most frequent kind of stroke. Cerebral thrombosis occurs when an artery that brings blood to the brain is blocked by cholesterol or atherosclerosis. When a blood clot blocks a blood vessel in the brain, it is known as a cerebral embolism.

Bleeding strokes account for 15% of all strokes and are less frequent. The primary cause is when an aneurysm ruptures. According to the Ministry of Health, brain bleeds can also happen due to tumors, high blood pressure emergencies, and other bleeding problems.

A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a brief interruption of blood flow to the brain.
