Understanding Hemorrhagic Stroke

About 13 percent of strokes happen when a blood vessel ruptures in or near the brain. This is called a hemorrhagic stroke. When a hemorrhagic stroke happens, blood collects in the brain tissue. This is toxic for the brain tissue causing the cells in that area to weaken and die. © AHA

Watch what happens in the brain during a hemorrhagic stroke, its symptoms, and the importance of calling 911 if you think someone may be having a stroke.
