What Causes a Stroke ?

A stroke can happen to anyone, at any time, and it can be a life-changing event. It's important to understand what causes a stroke and how to prevent it. In this video, we explore the different types of strokes, their causes, risk factors, and prevention strategies.

There are two main types of strokes: ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Ischemic strokes occur when a blood vessel in the brain is blocked by a blood clot, while hemorrhagic strokes happen when a blood vessel in the brain bursts and causes bleeding.

The causes of strokes can vary depending on the type of stroke, and there are several risk factors for strokes, including age, gender, family history, race, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, and obesity. Preventing a stroke starts with making lifestyle changes to reduce your risk factors.

This includes quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, eating a healthy diet, managing your blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and controlling diabetes. Watch this video to learn more about strokes and how to protect your health.
