What is Stroke?
Stroke is a condition where the blood supply to the brain is disrupted, resulting in oxygen starvation, brain damage and loss of function.2 There are two main types of strokes: ischemic and hemorrhagic.

Ischemic Stroke
87% of strokes are ischemic2 and occur when a blood clot travels to a vessel in the brain and cuts off blood supply.3

Hemorrhagic Stroke
Hemorrhagic strokes are less common but can be more serious4 and occur when a weakened blood vessel in the brain ruptures and begins leaking blood.5
