Strokes are caused by limited blood flow to the brain. Described as a cardiovascular disease, strokes result from a clogged or blocked blood vessel that leads to a lack of oxygen. Around 800,000 individuals have a stroke each year in the United States. The most common type of stroke is referred to as ischemic, which occurs when blood is occluded from a clot or narrow blood vessel. If the brain has low blood exposure, it limits the oxygen and nutrients the brain needs. As a result, brain cells begin to die, and a stroke occurs.

Strokes Have a Lasting Effect on Immune Cells
