A stroke occurs when the brain is deprived of sufficient blood flow, leading to an interruption in the delivery of vital oxygen and nutrients. A delayed disruption of normal blood flow can cause lasting damage to brain tissue. The key to getting early treatment and recovery is in recognizing the stoke signs and symptoms as FAST as possible and calling 9-1-1 immediately.
