What is a stroke?
A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. The
lack of nutrients causes brain cells to die.

Impacts of a stroke.This loss of brain cells can lead to lost abilities such as speech, movement and memory. The impact of a stroke depends on what part and
how much of the brain is impacted. More than 2/3 of stroke survivors will have some
type of disability.

Common types of a strokeAn ischemic stroke is where a blood clot blocks an artery preventing the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain. Accounting for ~87% of strokes, this occurs one of two ways:
Thrombosis Blood clot formed in
an artery that provides blood to the brain.
EmbolismBlood clot or plaque fragment
from elsewhere in the body gets lodged in the brain.

Less common types of strokeIn a hemorrhagic stroke, the blood vessels in the brain break or hemorrhage.
There are two types of hemorrhagic stroke that account for ~13% of strokes.
Intraparenchymal Hemorrhage: a blood vessel bursts leaking blood into the brain tissue.
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage:
a blood vessel bursts near the surface of the brain and pours
into the area between the brain and the skull .

This is what she lost.

Gloria is in the 10-25% range of recovery.
Early Recovery Facts for stroke victims:10% survivors recover almost completely.25% recover with minor impairments.40% experience moderate to severe
impairments.10% require care in facility.15% die shortly after.

Real threats after a stroke
185,000 of the 795,000 strokes that Americans experience are recurrent strokes.
The greatest risk of a recurrent stroke is within the first 5 years.
Stroke patients are encouraged to work with their doctors to make lifestyle changes.
![Page 19: Signs and E ffects of a Stroke](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/5681315e550346895d97d42a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Music therapy and rehabilitation.Although speech comes from the left side of the brain, music is found on both sides.
Music therapy can help rewire the right side of the brain to develop speech again through
song and music.
This includes cognition, motor skills and socio-emotional learning and relearning.

Prevention Up to 80 percent of all strokes can be prevented
Check blood pressure regularly, high blood pressure is a major risk factor for strokes.
An abnormal heartbeat can increase the risk of stroke by 500%.
Do not smoke; control alcohol intakeby drinking in moderation or not at all. Watch cholesterol levels, exercise and eat a healthy diet.
