Stroke Warning Signs oleh Felicia Dunbar

Stroke Warning Signs focuses on empowering readers to recognize stroke warning signs and act quickly, emphasizing that "time is brain" when it comes to stroke management. It highlights the critical importance of early recognition and intervention, which can drastically reduce long-term neurological damage, including understanding the FAST acronym (Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call emergency services). The book aims to equip readers with the knowledge to become active participants in stroke prevention and emergency response.

The book progresses by first introducing the basics of stroke, including different types like ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, and outlines key risk factors.
It then details the signs and symptoms of stroke, providing real-world examples, before outlining what steps to take when a stroke is suspected. Readers will learn about the use of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and the importance of a coordinated emergency response.

The book connects cardiovascular health with brain health, emphasizing lifestyle modifications and medication adherence as stroke prevention strategies.
