World Stroke Day: About 40,000 cases are registered every year in Belarus. The disease is getting younger - strokes are happening more and more in people aged 30-40, and the youngest patient in the capital's practice was only 18 years old. The key condition for salvation is to stay in the therapeutic window: 4.5 hours from the moment of the first symptoms. During this period, the patient must be taken to the hospital, where assistance is provided immediately upon admission.
