It is a bit like a heart attack for the brain. It is non-communicable, but it is hereditary, meaning that if your family has a history of strokes, you are more likely to have one.

It must be treated IMMEDIATELY, and if someone nearby is experiencing a stroke, call 911.

Some effects can be impaired speech, impaired mobility in one side of the body, memory loss, and pain.]]> 2019-04-30 15:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rbuczek82/a88x0npb8056/wish/355499514 rbuczek82 https://padlet.com/rbuczek82/a88x0npb8056/wish/355499638 2019-04-30 15:52:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rbuczek82/a88x0npb8056/wish/355499638 Causes of a Stroke akrozel25 https://padlet.com/rbuczek82/a88x0npb8056/wish/355500522 1.

    There is one drug called tPA that can treat a stroke. tPA works by dissolving the clot and improving blood flow to the part of the brain being deprived of blood flow

    Mechanical Devices
    A surgeon inserts a small mechanical device into the blocked artery using a thin tube. Once inside, the tool traps the clot, and either breaks it up or the surgeon pulls it out of the brain, reopening the blocked blood vessel in the process.
