Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death. Almost 800,000 people have a stroke every year. It's about one individual every 40 seconds.
A stroke happens when the blood supply to the brain is either interrupted or reduced. When this occurs, the brain does not get enough oxygen or nutrients, and the brain cells start to die.
Strokes can lead to long-term health problems. Following a stroke, an individual may have temporary or permanent disabilities depending on how quickly he or she is diagnosed and treated.
