Cerebrovascular Diseases

The blood flow to the brain is supplied by four main arteries to different areas inside and when the blood vessels burst or is blocked, a stroke may happen immediately. Stroke is a very common problem in the elderly and consists of two types:

Hemorrhagic: Internal bleeding of the brain

Ischemic: Lack of blood supply to the brain. Ischemic strokes are much more common and is directly related to the blockage of artery supplying blood to the brain.
