Little Strokes An estimated 400,000 Americans each year sutler the personal tragedy of a major stroke. About 200,000 of these victims die as a result of stroke and the others may enter long periods of disability and dependency. To better understand strokes and to more effectively combat such diseases of the brain, the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke has been supporting multidisciplinary research centers for cerebrovascular diseases. Today, there are 17 stroke research centers throughout the United States. Research being conducted at these centers and by scientists whose work is supported by NINDS is seeking better means of prevention of stroke and more effective treatment and therapy for stroke patients.

Strokes are caused by a stoppage of the blood flow to parts of the brain. This can result from a narrowing of the arteries causing a limited flow of blood and increasing the danger of blockage, or from the rupture of a cerebral blood vessel with bleeding in the brain. When the blood flow to a section of the brain is stopped for about five minutes, that part of the brain is injured. The function it directed, such as control of an arm or leg, speech, vision, or any of hundreds of abilities, is damaged or destroyed. Stroke is more common among persons over SO and in those who are overweight or have high blood pressure. Many also may have had minor heart problems. These traits speed up g atherosclerosis, the disease which leads to impaired blood circulation. A little stroke can come as an attack of dizziness, vomiting, blackout, or falling which may leave the victim with a temporary disability but with no permanent damage.
