A stroke is a sudden interruption of the blood supply to the brain.There are 3 ways this may happen:
Embolic stroke: is caused when a clot breaks off from the artery wall, which can travel further down the bloodstream to block smaller arterys
Hemorrhagic stroke: (least common) is caused by the rupture or leaking of an artery either within or around the brain
Ischemic Stroke: (most common) is caused by a blockage of an artery from a thrombus or clogged blood vessel due to atherosclerosis
