Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States, according to the American Stroke Association. It is also a leading cause of disability in the U.S.
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted. This occurrence prevents the brain from receiving the necessary oxygen and nutrients to function properly. A stroke is a medical emergency that can cause lasting brain damage, long-term disability, or even death.
While you address the stroke risk factors that you can control, remain vigilant about recognizing the signs of a stroke in yourself and others. Remember to “BE FAST.” (See the top of this page.) If you suspect someone of having a stroke, call 9-1-1 immediately. Seconds matter during a stroke.
