People who have suffered a stroke and reach the hospital within three hours of the event have excellent chances of recovery. According to doctors, it is vital during this "time window" to recognize the symptoms of stroke and seek help.
Within the first three hours, drugs capable of dissolving the clot must be administered if the stroke is caused by a blocked vessel. The patient can then realistically recover with minimal consequences. According to statistics, more than 80% of all strokes are ischemic. The harmful effects in such cases stem from a lack of oxygen and nutrients carried by the blood.
Hemorrhagic strokes (15% of all strokes and fatal in 30% of cases) occur when a vessel ruptures in the brain. Doctors note that strokes have begun to occur more often in young people aged 30–35. The causes include excessive alcohol use, smoking, and stress.
