Term

A Brain Stroke is an outcome of an interrupted or reduced supply of blood to a portion of the brain. Brain cells die as the reduced blood supply inhibits the brain tissues from getting sufficient oxygen and nutrients. The treatment depends on the cause and the severity of the stroke. UHS performs a multitude of invasive and non-invasive procedures to treat brain stroke.
