Ischemic Versus Hemorrhagic StrokeAn ischemic stroke happens when a blood
vessel (artery) supplying blood to an area of the brain becomes blocked by a
blood clot. About 80 out of 100 strokes are ischemic strokes. A
hemorrhagic stroke happens when an artery in the brain leaks or bursts
(ruptures). ByHealthwise Staff
