Description
In the United Kingdom, over 110,000 people have a stroke for the first time each year.
The risk of a stroke increases with age and is higher in men than in women.
A stroke occurs when part of the brain is damaged as a result of a lack of blood supply or the rupture of a blood vessel.
Some strokes cause catastrophic collapse with a sudden loss of consciousness.
Many people confuse a stroke with a heart attack. There are similarities, in that heart attacks are caused by blood vessels becoming blocked in the heart and strokes result from blood supply problems in the brain.
