Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel carrying oxygen and nutrients to the brain is blocked by a clot. This blockage results in the lack of blood flow to a certain part of the brain, leading to damage and cell death. Ischemic strokes are the most common type of stroke and can cause various symptoms depending on the area of the brain affected. Prompt medical attention is crucial to minimize brain damage and improve the chances of recovery. Treatment options for ischemic stroke include medications to dissolve the clot, surgical procedures to remove the clot, and rehabilitation therapies to regain lost functions.
