Care
It's important to know that
having a stroke increases your risk of having another stroke
or even a heart attack. In fact, research shows that people
who have had a stroke face a 9 times greater risk of having
another stroke, and a 2 times greater risk of having a heart
attack compared with the general population. That's because
the direct cause of most strokes is the same as that of
a heart attack: clot formation triggered by the rupture
of plaque (a buildup of cholesterol and other materials)
inside the walls of the arteries.
If
you've recently had a stroke,
you're probably focused on improving your physical abilities.
Fortunately, there are many options including physical,
occupational, and speech-language therapy. Many stroke patients
are left with a disability, but 50% to 70% of stroke survivors
regain functional independence.
