Preventing a stroke involves managing risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol through regular exercise, a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking. Medications such as blood thinners and statins may be prescribed for those at higher risk. Regular check-ups help monitor and manage these factors. For acute stroke care, immediate treatment is crucial. Always call paramedics if you suspect a stroke to ensure quick transport to a specialized stroke center. Treatment may include clot-busting drugs or mechanical thrombectomy to restore blood flow and minimize brain damage. Combining prevention with prompt acute care is essential for reducing stroke impact.
