October 29 is World Stroke Day. The @American_Heart wants to remind you of these Key Facts About Stroke

F A C T #1: Stroke kills brain cells
Stroke happens when a clot or rupture interrupts blood flow to the brain. Without oxygen-rich blood, brain cells die.

F A C T #4:
Prevention is key
Had a stroke? Work with your doctor to identify the cause and create a plan to prevent another. This may include managing high blood pressure, making healthy lifestyle choices and taking medications as recommended by your doctor.

BE FAST
B – Balance loss
E – Eyesight changes
F - Face drooping
A – Arm weakness
S – Speech difficulty
T – Time to call 9-1-1.
If the person shows ANY of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get them to a hospital immediately.

Due to the recent surge in positive COVID-19 cases in our community and Minnesota Stroke Association staff we have made the incredibly difficult decision to, once again, move to a virtual walk.

Please follow the link for details.

Act FAST (Facial Drooping, Arm Weakness, Slurred Speech, Time to call 9-1-1) has its limitations, so more and more professionals are switching to BE FAST which adds Balance Loss and Eyesight Changes to the list of potential signs of stroke.

[MN StrokeAssociation @MNStrokeAssoc]

The Minnesota Stroke Association works to ensure that people know what to look for so no stroke goes undiagnosed. Metrics are changing as more research is conducted and more findings are released. BE FAST gives you more to look out for and more opportunities to identify stroke.
