You can think of a stroke as a “brain attack.” A stroke is an interruption in brain function caused by a lack of blood flow to the brain. When any of the major blood vessels connected to your heart is blocked, we call it a heart attack. What is a stroke, and what are the typical effects? Mark Goldberg, chair of the department of Neurology and Neurotherapeutics at UT Southwestern Medical Center, explains the types of stroke, how they differ from one another, and how they are treated. But many people don’t even know what a stroke is or how it is related to the brain. You might lose your speech, or your vision, or any number of brain functions that you had taken for granted.
One moment, you may be having a normal, healthy day - then part of your brain begins to fail.
