Stroke is one of the UK's five main killers (the others are heart
disease, cancer, lung and liver disease). Nearly 1.2 million in the
UK have survived a stroke - and so are at risk of another. Stroke
is preventable. Up to 10,000 strokes a year could be prevented if
more people sought help from A&E earlier Stroke affects around
150,000 people each year in the UK, with about 49,000 episodes
proving fatal. This book aims to help people prevent another stroke
(or another cardiovascular event) and to live a full life after a
stroke. Topics include: The brain and blood supply - why and how a
stroke may happen Key warning symptoms Causes and types of stroke,
mainly ischaemic, but also haemorrhagic, and including TIAs
(transient ischaemic attacks) Risk factors for stroke - modifiable
and otherwise; and the overlap with dementia Diagnosis and
treatment Lifestyle changes to prevent another stroke Living with
disability Advice for carers Further information and sources of
advice.
