Stroke Know Your Risk Factors

Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States and is a major cause of serious disability for adults. Approximately, 795,000 people in the United States have a stroke each year. 87% of strokes are ischemic strokes in which blood flow to the brain is blocked.
