Cerebrovascular accidents, commonly known as strokes, occur when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted. This can happen due to a blockage, known as an ischemic stroke, or when a blood vessel bursts, leading to a hemorrhagic stroke. The lack of oxygen and nutrients can cause brain cells to die, resulting in various symptoms, such as weakness, confusion, or difficulty speaking. Recognizing the signs of a stroke is crucial for timely treatment. The acronym FAST helps identify symptoms: Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulties, and Time to call emergency services. Quick action can significantly improve recovery outcomes and reduce long-term effects.
