Stroke
Introduction
Although death rates from stroke have declined over the recent years, it remains the third leading cause of death in the United States. Most stroke symptoms are not associated with pain, causing people to delay medical treatment. Signs and symptoms of stroke can range from difficulty with speech to sudden numbness or weakness in the face or limbs. Prevention is of primary importance, and proper prevention requires reduction of risk factors in persons at the highest risk.
