🧠 Different Types of STROKE⁠

Strokes are a major focus in healthcare, and understanding the different types is crucial. Here's a quick rundown:⁠

⁠

1️⃣ Ischemic Stroke: The most common type, occurring when a blood clot blocks a vessel in the brain. It's further divided into:⁠

⁠

Thrombotic: A clot forms in an artery supplying blood to the brain.⁠

Embolic: A clot forms elsewhere and travels to the brain.⁠

⁠

2️⃣ Hemorrhagic Stroke: Less common but very serious, it happens when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, leading to bleeding in or around the brain.⁠

⁠

3️⃣ Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): Often called a 'mini-stroke,' it's a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain, serving as a warning sign for a future stroke.⁠
