New Phone Apps Detect Seizures, Treat Strokes

Stroke

Stroke is called cerebrovascular accident (CVA), cerebrovascular insult (CVI) or colloquially brain attack.  A hindrance in the blood flow, or the separation of an artery that supplies bloodto the brain, can be the cause of stroke. Now, the stroke can be of two types like ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. If a blood clot forms and the wandering clot is carried through the blood to the brain, can cause ischemic stroke. When a defective artery in the brain bursts and fills the surrounding tissue with blood is called hemorrhagic stroke.
