February is Heart Healthy month

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States and can affect women at any age. Knowing the facts about heart disease—as well as the signs, symptoms and risk factors—can help you take steps to protect your health and seek proper treatment if you need it.

Stroke

A stroke is a serious medical condition that requires emergency care. Act F.A.S.T. Call 9-1-1 right away if you or someone you are with shows any signs of a stroke.

Time lost is brain lost. Every minute counts.

F.A.S.T. Warning Signs

Use the letters in F.A.S.T. to spot a Stroke

• F = Face Drooping – Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the person's smile uneven?
• A = Arm Weakness – Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
• S = Speech Difficulty – Is speech slurred?
• T = Time to call 911 – Stroke is an emergency. Every minute counts. Call 911 immediately. 
• Note the time when any of the symptoms first appear. Depending on the type of stroke it can be reversed with treatment if patient arrives at the hospital before 3 hours from onset of symptoms

Possible Hidden Causes of Stroke

• Irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) – AFib patients are at a 5 times greater risk for stroke.
• Heart structure problems (such as patent foramen ovale)
• Hardening of the arteries (large artery atherosclerosis)
• Blood clotting disorder (thrombophilia)
