Many people have a misconception that stroke is a type of heart disease. We often confuse stroke and heart attack. In fact, stroke is a brain disease. If the blood vessel of any place in the brain closes or blocks, the blood flow to the place closes, so that special area of the brain cannot work. This is known as stroke. Stroke is termed as a cerebrovascular accident in medical science.
The particular area of the brain that controls the part of the body, the stroke of the part of the body is broken. If one side of the brain is damaged then the opposite direction of the body becomes crippled. That is, if the left side of the brain is damaged, the right side of the body becomes stagnant/unsteady.
»The world is going to die in a stroke every six seconds. World Stroke Day is being celebrated on October 29 every year to make the disease aware.
