New York Daily News - The Daily Checkup: Adopting Healthy
Lifestyle Is The Best Way To Reduce The Risk Of A Stroke Every
year, about 700,000 Americans suffer a stroke, which works out
to one stroke every 40 seconds. “A stroke is a disturbance in
the blood flow to the brain, most often due to a clot or
blockage in a blood vessel,” says Dr. Stanley Tuhrim from The
Mount Sinai Medical Center. “The cells in the brain start to die
if not enough oxygen gets to them – damage we can largely
prevent if the stroke patient receives the correct drugs quickly
enough.” Anyone experiencing a stroke should call 911 and go
directly to the hospital. - Dr. Stanley Tuhrim, Professor,
