CAUSES OF STROKE
Stroke is caused by the interruption of blood supply to the brain, which cuts off the supply of oxygen and nutrients, causing damage to the brain tissue.
This happens when either a blood vessel to the brain has been blocked by a clot (an ischaemic stroke), or has ruptured (a haemorrhagic stroke).
Ischaemic strokes are more common in Singapore, accounting for about 80% of the strokes locally. However, Haemorrhagic strokes result in more deaths than ischaemic strokes.
