In some patients, early identification and treatment of an ongoing stroke is possible, and the reestablishment of blood supply to the affected brain can improve the outlook for the patient.
STROKE is a medical emergency. Whilst heart attacks are frequently dramatic and obvious, strokes may be silent or present subtly. The signs and symptoms of stroke vary depending on the location, the extent of damage, and the cause of the disorder. When a person presents with the symptoms associated with a stroke, it is advisable to rush him or her to the nearest hospital as soon as possible. Time is critical. Every second counts.
