📅Today, October 29th is World Stroke Day!📅
“Stroke” refers to diseases where brain blood flow is interrupted,
causing cell death.
The brain needs nutrients and oxygen from blood. When arteries
are blocked or burst, blood flow decreases, damaging brain cells
and causing numbness, paralysis, and speech difficulties.
The five major risk factors for stroke are as follows:
✔ High blood pressure
✔ Diabetes
✔ Dyslipidemia
✔ Arrhythmia
✔ Smoking
All of these can be controlled through lifestyle changes and
medication. Early detection of stroke can prevent severe outcomes.
Our blood pressure monitors (BPM) and electrocardiographs(ECG)
support early detection of these risk factors.
🤚Let us help you detect risk factors early and protect your health
and well-being.
