Ischemic stroke. This is the most common type of stroke. It happens when the brain's blood vessels become narrowed or blocked, causing severely reduced blood flow (ischemia). Blocked or narrowed blood vessels are caused by fatty deposits that build up in blood vessels or by blood clots or other debris that travel through your bloodstream and lodge in the blood vessels in your brain. 3, record 1, English, - ischemic%20cerebrovascular%20accident

Un AVC hémorragique survient lorsqu'il y a une rupture d'une artère dans le cerveau. L'interruption du flux sanguin cause des dommages cérébraux. L'hypertension artérielle fragilise les artères au fil des années. Il s'agit d'une cause fréquente d'AVC hémorragique. Des parties fragilisées des artères, appelées anévrismes, se dilatent parfois démesurément et finissent par se rompre. 2, record 2, French, - accident%20vasculaire%20c%C3%A9r%C3%A9bral%20h%C3%A9morragique
