A stroke is a life-threatening condition that occurs when part of your brain does not have enough blood flow.

This is most typically caused by a blocked artery or bleeding in your brain. Without a steady supply of blood, the brain cells in that area start to die from a lack of oxygen.

It is important to remember that a stroke is a life-threatening emergency where every second counts. Immediate medical attention is critical to prevent permanent damage or death. The quicker the stroke is treated, the more likely you will recover without disability.

Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability in Canada, and the third leading cause of death.
