Strokes
Strokes are the 5th leading cause of death in the united states,
and they are a reduction or lack of blood supplied to the brain.
Approximately 800,000 people have a stroke each year, one
about every 40 seconds, and if not stopped after 4 minutes,
serious brain damage or death can occur.
Strokes are also referred to as apoplexy, and cerebrovascular
accident.
There are three types of strokes called ischemic strokes,
hemorrhagic strokes, and transient ischemic strokes
(mini-strokes).
