Dr. Angela Hays, a neurologist specializing in the care of high severity neurological injury or illness, explains the difference between two types of stroke – hemorrhagic and thrombotic, or ischemic – focusing on the hemorrhagic variation. She indicates high blood pressure as a major risk factor for hemorrhagic stroke and also mentions other risk factors, including diabetes, smoking, excessive alcohol use, and substances that artificially raise blood pressure. Dr. Hays concludes this neurology podcast with a discussion of the presenting symptoms of a stroke.
