It can happen to anyone at any time. It occurs when blood flow to an area of brain is cut off. When this happens, brain cells are deprived of oxygen and begin to die. When brain cells die during a stroke, abilities controlled by that area of the brain such as memory and muscle control are lost.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/science_figures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2699\" height=\"4049\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/stroke-causes-cardiology3.png\" alt=\"stroke causes cardiology3\" class=\"wp-image-9311\" title=\"stroke-symptoms-cause-cardiology\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/stroke-causes-cardiology3.png 2699w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/stroke-causes-cardiology3-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/stroke-causes-cardiology3-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/stroke-causes-cardiology3-683x1024.png 683w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2699px) 100vw, 2699px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2><strong>Stroke symptoms<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you start presenting any of these symptoms, you need to talk to your doctor and go to the hospital.
