CINCINNATI, Ohio. (Ivanhoe Newswire) — Stroke, it’s the leading cause of death for Americans. Every 40 seconds someone will suffer from one. There are two types, ischemic and hemorrhagic. In an ischemic stroke, a blood vessel becomes blocked and the brain becomes deprived of oxygen. In a hemorrhagic stroke, the brain is flooded with blood from a burst aneurysm. The drug TPA became a lifesaver for the stroke caused by a clot. And now, the same doctors who used that drug for the first time in the world are now testing another drug to help people who suffer a hemorrhagic stroke.
