Medications: They are usually taken with one or more different medications, some of which may be taken immediately and for a short period (such as: blood thinners), while the others may need to be taken for long term. However, when diagnosed immediately, patient will be given clot-busting drug intravenously to improve blood flow to the brain part, but should be given in the first three or four hours after stroke symptoms begin, and in some other recommendations up to the first six hours.

Surgery: Some strokes can be treated by emergency procedure to help restore blood flow to the brain, which involves inserting a catheter into an artery, often in the groin. A small device is passed through the catheter into the affected artery in the brain. The procedure is done within the first six hours after stroke severe symptoms appear.

Rehabilitation: Some patients may need long-term treatment where they need physical, occupational and speech therapy, as well as psychotherapy, nutrition, bladder control.

- Arteries that lead towards and within the brain will not be able to successfully transport blood that carries oxygen or nutrients to/around the brain.
- This is due to a blood clot formed in the blood vessels.
- When blood cannot be transported, the brain cells would be damaged/destroyed due to a lack of blood supply.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Blood is pumped from the heart to the brain during systemic circulatory
2. Blood vessels burst/ clogged by clot will cause deprivation of blood to the brain
3. Part of the brain that is deprived of oxygen will die within minutes
4. Part of brain that died will no longer function = part of the body that is controlled by the dead part will no longer properly/ at all

An injury to one side of the brain affects the opposite side of the body.

The person will often lose movement, feeling in the arm and leg opposite the side of the brain affected by stroke.

Affects the Autonomic Nervous System

Increased sympathetic nervous system activity

Reduced parasympathetic nervous system activity

3 types:
- ischemic stroke: when blood flow through the artery that supplies oxygenated blood to the brain becomes blocked
- hemorrhagic stroke: when the artery in the brain leaks blood or ruptures. The leaked blood puts too much pressure on the brain cells, hence causing damage.
- transient ischemic attack: called a "mini stroke". Blood flow to the brain is blocked only for a short time--> not more than 5 minutes
