Stroke, also known as cerebrovascular accident, is a condition in which part of the brain is suddenly damaged when the blood vessels that nourish that part of the brain are blocked (cerebral infarction) or ruptured (cerebral hemorrhage). The following article will provide you with the most necessary information about Stroke.

The ideal time for emergency stroke treatment is within the first 3-6 hours from the onset. If the golden stroke period is missed, the patient will not have the major cerebral blood vessels re-opened, which puts them at risk of death or severe disability. Therefore, understanding the early symptoms of a stroke is very important.
