Understanding Stroke Types and Symptoms

This article is designed to help you understand the types and signs of stroke. It may help you detect stroke early to save a life.
There are two major types of stroke: ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Both have similar symptoms, and both are life-threatening.
Types of Stroke
Hemorrhagic stroke involves a blockage that actually causes a rupture (or bursting) of a blood vessel that carries oxygenated blood to the brain. This causes the blood to move into areas of the brain other than the blood vessel that was intended. This may in turn cause increased intracranial pressure (or added pressure to the brain).
Ischemic stroke is caused by a clot obstructing blood flow to the brain. If the clot stays in place, pressure continues to rise which may eventually cause a hemorrhagic stroke.
Ischemic stroke can be broken down into two different subcategories: thrombotic and embolic. The biggest difference of these two types is where it actually stops and blocks blood flow.
Embolic stroke is caused when an embolus (blood clot in a vessel)is pumped from the heart and travels to the brain and lodges in a small blood vessel, causing a blockage.
Thrombotic stroke is caused when one or more of the arteries of the brain are blocked with a thrombus (blood clot in an artery).
Also, there are diseases of the vessels that may produce a stroke. These are Large Vessel Thrombosis and Small Vessel Disease (also called Lacunar Infarction).
