Hemorrhagic stroke accounts for only 20 percent of all people admitted to hospitals for stroke. It is caused by blocking the circulation of blood in any part of the body as a result of the heart working harder in providing oxygen to the cells. The increase of blood pressure might cause a blood vessel in the brain to rupture in result of swelling in any part of the brain, causing the cells in the brain to be deprived of oxygen.
5. Stroke (brain Attack) Part V - Symptoms of Stroke As we mentioned in previous articles, stroke is caused by uncontrolled diet that is high in saturated and trans fats as a result of bad cholesterol building up in the blood vessels that block the circulation of blood to the body including the brain.
