A stroke occurs when there’s a disruption in blood flow to part of your brain. In an ischemic stroke, a blood clot blocks blood flow. A hemorrhagic stroke describes the rupture of a blood vessel in the brain.
The lack of sufficient blood flow damages or destroys brain tissue, which can affect many functions of your body and lead to disability or death.
