When does stroke occur?

A stroke can occur at any time, without warning. It is a medical emergency that happens when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, leading to the death of brain cells.

The most common type of stroke is called an ischemic stroke, which occurs when a blood clot blocks a blood vessel in the brain.
Strokes can happen to people of all ages, although they are more common in older adults.
Prompt treatment is crucial to minimize brain damage and improve the chances of recovery.
