An ischemic stroke occurs when there is a restricted blood supply to a part of the brain. This is caused by a blood clot or a buildup of fatty deposits (atherosclerosis) in the blood vessels. The brain tissue no longer receives enough vital oxygen and nutrients, leading to the rapid death of brain cells - often within minutes.
