text: What is it?
  A stroke is a cerebrovascular accident that appears suddenly and is the leading cause of death among women and the second among men. Although it has a higher incidence in older people over 60 years of age, the incidence of stroke in young people has increased in recent years. Strokes are classified into two types:
  This is the most frequent type of stroke (up to 85% of the total), caused by a significant decrease in blood flow to one part of the brain. This lack of blood supply produces a cerebral infarction, which leads to the death of neurons due to a lack of oxygen supply and nutrients in the blood.
  Although they are less frequent than ischaemic strokes, mortality in haemorrhagic strokes is considerably higher. However, there is usually better recovery from the sequelae in the long term. They are due to haemorrhages caused by the rupture of a cerebral blood vessel.
