Stroke
Understanding Stroke
A stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, depriving brain cells of oxygen. This can cause sudden paralysis, speech problems, or even life-threatening complications.
At Moolchand Hospital, one of Delhi’s top hospitals for stroke care, our neurologists and emergency teams provide rapid, evidence-based treatment to save lives and restore function.
Types of Stroke
- 
Ischemic Stroke – Caused by a blood clot blocking a brain artery (most common). 
- 
Hemorrhagic Stroke – Caused by bleeding from a ruptured vessel in the brain. 
- 
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) – Also known as a “mini-stroke,” a temporary blockage that signals risk of a major stroke ahead. 
Early Symptoms – BE FAST Warning Signs
Use the BE FAST acronym to recognize stroke and act quickly:
B – Balance: Sudden dizziness or loss of coordination
E – Eyes: Blurred or double vision
F – Face: Drooping on one side
A – Arms: Weakness or numbness
S – Speech: Slurred or confused speech
T – Time: Call emergency help immediately
Every second counts — early treatment greatly improves recovery.
