Understanding Stroke – Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
Stroke—often termed a “brain attack”—is a critical medical emergency caused by the interruption of blood flow to the brain. In India, this remains a leading cause of death and long-term disability. In this blog, Medaz Hospital aims to guide patients and families through the critical aspects of recognizing, treating, and preventing stroke.
1. Recognizing the Symptoms of Stroke
Early recognition is vital. Look for:
Why it matters: Every minute counts—ischemic stroke can destroy ~2 million brain cells per minute. Treatment within 90 minutes offers a 90% chance of independence; delays reduce that dramatically

A stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted or reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. In India, where lifestyle-related health issues are rising, stroke is becoming one of the leading causes of disability and death. At Medaz Hospital, Patna Bihar, we aim to increase awareness and provide prompt, life-saving care to those at risk.
Use the BE FAST method to spot the signs early:
“Every minute after a stroke, the brain loses about 1.9 million neurons.”
