FIRST FACT: A stroke kills brain cells
Cell death is due to inadequate oxygen-rich blood supply to brain. Supply is interfered by disruption of blood flow to the brain by a clot or a rupture.
SECOND FACT: A stroke increases risk of subsequent stroke
Approximately one out of every four stroke survivors is at risk of having another.
THIRD FACT: Stroke Types
Ischemic stroke is due to clot, blood vessel rupture causes hemorrhagic stroke, and a momentary blockage causes a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or “mini stroke.”
FOURTH FACT: Prevention reduces stroke incidence
Primarily, exercise and watch your diet
If you had a stroke, discuss with your doctor on plan of management. Get a Physical Therapist to assist you in physical rehabilitation
FIVE: The earlier the better
The more time the more brain cells die. Earlier medical attention including pharmacological and physiotherapy ensures better prognosis.
