When blood is cut off from part of the brain, it results in a stroke. A stroke can occur due to a burst blood vessel or a blood clot blocking blood flow to the brain. Hemiplegia refers to paralysis on one side of the body and can occur as a result of a stroke. Myocardial infarction and angina both refer to conditions related to the heart and blood vessels, not the brain.
