"Stroke can be devastating, but it is also treatable—and often preventable. Recovering from a stroke can involve making big changes to your lifestyle, but your health care team will work to help you become as healthy and independent as possible. Learn what to expect if you are recovering from stroke and how to prevent another stroke from happening.
Stroke happens when something blocks blood supply to part of the brain or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts. When stroke happens, brain cells start to die within minutes because they can’t get oxygen. This can cause death or disability.That is why doctors say “time lost is brain lost” when it comes to stroke. The faster you can get treatment, the less brain damage you may have. Each year, nearly 800,000 Americans have a stroke. Yet many people who could benefit from emergency stroke treatment—a special clot-busting drug—don’t get it because they don’t arrive at the hospital in time..."Strokes
