Stroke or brain attack happens when clot blocks the blood supply to the brain or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts causing death or significant disability. A stroke can happen to anyone, at anytime and anywhere. Today stroke is the leading cause of disability worldwide and second leading cause of death, but almost all strokes could be prevented.
