Diabetes, Obesity, and Stroke

Recognizing the symptoms of a stroke is the first step in preventing one. When blood supply to a part of the brain is cut off, a stroke, sometimes known as a "brain attack," ensues. The brain cells die when they are deprived of the oxygen and glucose they require to survive. If a stroke is not treated quickly, it might result in severe brain damage or death.

Ischemic stroke is comparable to a heart attack, but it happens in the brain's blood arteries. Clots can form in the blood arteries of the brain, blood vessels leading to the brain, or blood vessels elsewhere in the body and subsequently travel to the brain. These clots block blood flow to the brain's cells. Ischemic stroke can also occur when too much plaque (fatty deposits and cholesterol) clogs the brain's blood vessels. About 80% of all strokes are ischemic.

Hemorrhagic (heh-more-raj-ik) strokes occur when a blood vessel in the brain breaks or ruptures. The result is blood seeping into the brain tissue, causing damage to brain cells. The most common causes of hemorrhagic stroke are high blood pressure and brain aneurysms. An aneurysm is a weakness or thinness in the blood vessel wall.
