Strokes are divided into ischemia and hemorrhagic, and they are more representative of cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage.

If the brain is compared with a field and the irrigated water pipe is likely to be metaphorized by the brain blood vessels, the cerebral infarction is blocked by the water pipe that irrigated this field, causing some crops in the field to die. Cerebral hemorrhage can be understood as a burst of water pipes, a large amount of water spread out, and drowned the crops. The cause of cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage is very different.

Simply put, cerebral infarction is caused by analgesic vascular occlusion, causing tissue ischemia; and cerebral hemorrhage is caused by the rupture of the vascular wall.
