Stroke recovery
A stroke is a medical emergency that happens when the blood flow to your brain is interrupted. Without blood, your brain cells start to die. This can cause serious symptoms, lasting disability, and even death. There’s more than one kind of stroke. Keep reading to learn about the three main types of strokes, their symptoms, and treatments.
What are the different types of strokes?
There are three main types of stroke: transient ischemic attack, ischemic stroke, and hemorrhagic stroke. It’s estimated that 87 percent of strokes are ischemic.
Transient ischemic attack
Doctors also call a transient ischemic attack (TIA) a warning or ministroke. Anything that temporarily blocks blood flow to your brain causes a TIA. The blood clot and TIA symptoms last for a short period of time.
Ischemic stroke
An ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot keeps blood from flowing to your brain. The blood clot is often due to atherosclerosis, which is a buildup of fatty deposits on the inner lining of a blood vessel. A portion of these fatty deposits can break off and block blood flow in your brain. The concept is similar to that of a heart attack, where a blood clot blocks blood flow to a portion of your heart.
An ischemic stroke can be embolic, meaning the blood clot travels from another part of your body to your brain. An estimated 15 percent of embolic strokes are due to a condition called atrial fibrillation, where your heart beats irregularly.
A thrombotic stroke is an ischemic stroke caused by a clot forming in a blood vessel in your brain.
Unlike a TIA, the blood clot that causes an ischemic stroke won’t go away without treatment.
Hemorrhagic stroke
A hemorrhagic stroke results when a blood vessel in your brain ruptures or breaks, spilling blood into the surrounding tissues.
There are three main types of hemorrhagic strokes: The first is an aneurysm, which causes a portion of the weakened blood vessel to balloon outward and sometimes rupture. The other is an arteriovenous malformation, which involves abnormally formed blood vessels. If such a blood vessel ruptures, it can cause a hemorrhagic stroke. Lastly, very high blood pressure can cause weakening of the small blood vessels in the brain and result in bleeding into the brain as well
What are the symptoms of a stroke?
The different stroke types cause similar symptoms because each affects blood flow in your brain. The only way to determine what type of stroke you may be having is to seek medical attention. A doctor will order imaging tests to view your brain.
The National Stroke Association recommends the FAST method to help identify the warning signs of a stroke:
- Face: When you smile, does one side of your face droop?
- Arms: When you raise both arms, does one arm drift down?
- Speech: Is your speech slurred? Are you having trouble talking?
- Time: If you experience any of these symptoms, call 911 immediately.
- Additional symptoms that don’t fit in the FAST description include:
- sudden confusion, such as difficulty understanding what a person is saying
- difficulty walking, sudden dizziness, or loss of coordination
- sudden, severe headache that doesn’t have any other known cause
- difficulty seeing in one or both eyes

When L-Arginine is converted into nitric oxide, it plays an important supporting role in cardiovascular health by supporting optimal circulation and inner blood vessel health by allowing oxygen, blood and nutrients to travel more efficiently throughout the body. The dilation of blood vessels created by nitric oxide not only promotes optimal circulation, but also plays an important role in cell division and healthy immune function.
