Can A Stroke Be Prevented
Cardiovascular
disease is the cause of at least 50,000 deaths
each year. The events of the attacks are a very
frightful experience for any individual. Most
individuals die because of the lack of treatment
that is not given at the correct time.
Most patients wait for at least
two or more hours before medical aid can be
administered to them. The question here is whether
a Stroke can be avoided and if there is how
do we avoid them.
The only best answer available
anywhere is to know about the symptoms and if
you feel any of the symptoms call 911 immediately.
Many people do not call as they
think that the symptoms are for something else.
Another apparent reason for them not calling
is that they are scared of the shame it will
bring to them if the claim they made would be
false. Just remember that the more time is wasted
in getting medical aid the more of brain time
is also lost.
