STRONG SOCIETAL
AND ECONOMIC IMPACT

Overall, stroke is the second most common cause of deaths worldwide and one of the first causes of acquired disability in adults. Three months after a stroke, over 54% of patients still have disabilities. Disability induced by stroke may require permanent assistance for daily care.

ACUTE ISCHEMIC VS HEMORRHAGIC STROKE

TWO TYPES OF STROKE

Stroke can be caused by either a clot that obstructs the flow of blood to the brain (an ischemic stroke) or by a blood vessel that ruptures and thus prevents blood flow to the brain (a hemorrhagic stroke). A TIA (transient ischemic attack) or "mini stroke" is caused by a temporary clot. When either of these things happen, the brain cells begin to die or are at risk of damage.
