Did you know that a stroke occurs when the blood supply to a portion of the brain is cut off? In the United States, 795,000 strokes occur each year, and the average age of stroke patients is decreasing, making it a serious concern. But there is good news – recognizing the symptoms and acting quickly can greatly improve the outcome.

There are two types of strokes, ischemic and hemorrhagic. Ischemic strokes occur when the blood flow to an artery that supplies the brain is blocked, either by a clot or a fatty deposit. Hemorrhagic strokes occur when a brain artery ruptures and bleeds. Ischemic strokes are more common than hemorrhagic strokes in the United States.

What are the warning signs of a stroke? They include facial weakness, arm or leg weakness, problems with balance, confusion, memory loss, dizziness, headaches, blurry vision, and numbness. Remember to think FAST – F-A-S-T – which stands for facial drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty, and time to call emergency services.

If you or a loved one experiences any of these symptoms, it's important to call 911 immediately. Time is of the essence when it comes to treating strokes, so every second counts.

In this podcast, we'll discuss in detail the causes, risk factors, and treatment options for strokes. We'll also provide tips for preventing strokes and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Don't ignore the warning signs of a stroke – listen to this podcast and learn how to recognize and act quickly to get the medical help you need.
