What are the effects of stroke?

What will be an ideal response?


Strokes deprive the brain of needed oxygen and other nutrients, causing brain and nerve cells to die. As a result, stroke leads to loss of function for parts of the body controlled by the oxygen-deprived cells. For example, stroke victims' bodies may become paralyzed in either the left or the right side, or they may become unable to speak, walk, or swallow. Nutrition is likely to be affected in the stroke aftermath.
