The Facts About Strokes

• In the event of a stroke, every second counts. Getting help quickly and knowing where to find the best care can save lives.
• According to the American Stoke Association, strokes are the No. 5 cause of death, and the leading cause of disability in the United States.
• A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood it needs to survive.
• If given within three hours of initial symptoms, clot-dissolving medication can reduce long-term disability for the most common type of stroke.
