Warning Signs of A Stroke

An Overview
Do you know, strokes are one of the leading
causes of death in America. Well, anyone can have
a stroke but people over 50 are more prone to a
stroke. In fact, people diagnosed with any heart
disease or diabetes are also at risk of brain
stroke. In order to reduce the risk of cerebral
damage, doctors use cerebral embolic protection
(CEP) devices during cardiovascular procedures.
Keystone Heart is a medical device innovator
driven company in the United States that has
designed TriGUARD 3 cerebral embolic protection
device to protect the brain during cardiac
procedures. There can be many causes of stroke
like diabetes, heart diseases, high blood
pressure, alcohol consumption, tobacco use,
unhealthy diet, inactivity, and more. Certainly,
a stroke happens suddenly and needs immediate
medical help but learning the warning signs of a
stroke can help you minimize the consequences of
this life-threatening health problem.
