A stroke is a brain attack, cutting off vital blood flow and oxygen to the brain.
In the United States, stroke is a leading cause of death, killing nearly 130,000 people each year, and a leading cause of serious, long-term adult disability.
Two million brain cells die every minute during stroke, increasing risk of permanent brain damage, disability or death.
Recognizing symptoms and acting FAST to get medical attention can save a life and limit disabilities.
