What is the golden time after a stroke?

The golden time after stroke symptoms appear is 3 hours. Emergency treatment must begin within this window to minimize brain damage. Call 911 immediately if any FAST symptoms are observed.

What does FAST stand for in stroke recognition?

FAST stands for Face (facial drooping), Arm (arm weakness), Speech (speech difficulty), and Time (time to call 911). These are the four key warning signs of a stroke.

What is the most important risk factor for stroke?

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is the most important risk factor for stroke. Maintaining blood pressure below 120/80 mmHg through medication, diet, and exercise significantly reduces stroke risk.

What is a normal blood pressure reading?

Normal blood pressure is below 120/80 mmHg. Stage 1 hypertension is 130-139/80-89 mmHg, Stage 2 is 140/90 mmHg or higher, and a hypertensive crisis (immediate medical attention required) is 180/120 mmHg or higher.
