What is a Stroke? 

A stroke is a “brain attack” or brain injury that happens when a blood vessel in the brain is blocked or bursts. Without blood and oxygen, parts of the brain may start to die. When this occurs, the part of the body that is controlled by the damaged area of the brain may not work correctly.
