中风的警告信号:动作要快
Stroke is the leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the United States. 有时被称为“脑梗塞”," a stroke occurs after the brain is deprived of oxygen 和 nutrients. Like a heart attack, this occurs after the blood flow is disrupted by a blockage. People often do not recognize stroke signs. BE FAST 和 CALL 9-1-1 at any sign of a stroke.
Be sure to note the time when any symptoms first appear so you can share this information with our healthcare team.
理解 & 控制风险
Many people consider strokes to be a problem faced only by the elderly, but more than one out of four stroke victims are under the age of 65. 点击这里 to learn more from the National Stroke Association about risk factors for men 和 women of any age.
