Early DetectionEarly Detection: Stroke Strokes are the third leading cause of death in the U.S. Every 45 seconds, someone in America has a stroke, and every 4 minutes, someone dies of a stroke. In one second, 32,000 brain cells die, and in less than one minute, an ischemic stroke will kill 1.9 million brain cells. Common symptoms of a stroke •sudden numbness, tingling, weakness, or loss of movement in the face, arm or leg, especially on only one side of the body •sudden vision changes •sudden trouble speaking •sudden confusion or trouble understanding simple statements •sudden problems with walking or balance •a sudden, severe headache that is different than past headaches If you experience any of these symptoms, call 911 immediately Many strokes are preventable.
