Dr. Esther Bahk |
A stroke is the sudden interruption in the blood supply of the brain by blockage or rupture of blood vessel. In a TIA the blockage is temporary and symptoms last only a short time. There is no lasting damage. A TIA is a warning sign, though. Fifteen percent of strokes are preceded by a TIA. Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. Stroke accounts for one out of every 19 deaths.
Dr. Bahk will speak on risk factors for stroke, symptoms and what people can do to minimize the long-term effects of a stroke.
