Stroke is a deadly disease. It is the third leading cause of death in women and ranked fifth as a major cause of death in men. Every year, more than 15 million people worldwide suffer a stroke and about 5.8 million people die due to an attack or resulting complications.
Anyone can be at risk of this disease, making it important to raise stroke awareness. This course has been designed to help create that awareness. We first define stroke and explain how it occurs.
Next, we discuss various types of stroke and the causes of each type. Stroke risk factors, complications and effects of an attack, and ways of prevention, are also covered, along with the various benefits of stroke awareness.
