Stroke
Every year almost 700,000 Americans experience a stroke. A stroke, sometimes called a brain attack, occurs when the blood flow is blocked to the brain. These attacks can severely injure the brain, leading to permanent damage and even death. Luckily, fewer Americans are dying of strokes, most likely due awareness of the dangers of risk factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. In addition, modern medicine can now help reduce the crippling effects of a stroke if therapy is started as soon as possible after the onset of symptoms.
