Stroke
A stroke occurs when blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted — either by a blocked artery (ischaemic stroke, 85% of cases) or a ruptured blood vessel (haemorrhagic stroke). Every minute without treatment causes approximately 2 million neurons to die. Use the FAST mnemonic: Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call emergency.
