STROKE - #3 Killer of Americans
Stroke is the third leading
cause of death in America and the No. 1 cause of adult
disability. 80% of strokes are preventable; you can prevent
a stroke!
A stroke or "brain attack"
occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery (a blood
vessel that carries blood from the heart to the body) or
a blood vessel (a tube through which the blood moves
through the body) breaks, interrupting blood flow to an
area of the brain. When either of these things happen,
brain cells begin to die and brain damage occurs.
When brain cells die during a stroke, abilities
controlled by that area of the brain are lost. These
abilities include speech, movement and memory. How a
stroke patient is affected depends on where the stroke
occurs in the brain and how much the brain is damaged.
