A stroke, or “brain attack,” occurs when a blood clot blocks a blood vessel or artery in the brain (ischemic stroke), or when a blood vessel in the brain breaks or ruptures (hemorrhagic stroke). When a stroke occurs, brain cells die in the immediate area. These cells usually die within minutes to a few hours after the stroke starts.
