Strokes Kill Brain Cells 我们拯救他们

什么是中风?? Actually, it’s like a heart attack, only it’s happening to your brain. Blood clots block a blood vessel or a blood vessel breaks, interrupting the flow of blood to an area of the brain. Just like a heart attack, the sooner you seek treatment, the more likely you’ll minimize permanent disability or even death.

When a stroke occurs, the symptoms and the ailment happen all at once. Quickly recognizing the most common stroke symptoms can make the difference in minimizing permanent disabilities or death. You have to move fast and think smart.
