Understanding the Different Types of Strokes and Their Causes

In my recent exploration, I've learned that there are primarily three types of strokes: ischemic, hemorrhagic, and transient ischemic attacks (TIA). Ischemic, the most common type, is caused by a blockage or clot in the brain's blood vessels. Hemorrhagic stroke, though less common, is caused by bleeding in the brain. TIAs, also known as mini-strokes, are temporary blockages of blood flow to the brain. Understanding these types and their causes are crucial in prevention and early detection.
