    Stroke is a medical emergency caused by a blockage or rupture of arteries in the brain, cutting off blood flow. It is the second leading cause of death worldwide, with 17 million strokes occurring annually. Prompt treatment is vital, as time lost results in brain loss. For ischemic strokes within 4.5 hours, treatment involves administering the clot-busting drug tPA or performing a thrombectomy. For hemorrhagic strokes, surgery may be required. Adopting a healthy lifestyle through diet, exercise, not smoking, and medication can help prevent 80% of strokes.
