Every year in France, 130,000 people suffer a stroke. Stroke is the third cause of death and the leading cause of acquired disability in adults. 75% of people who suffer from it are over 65 years old. Note that 15,000 people under the age of 65 are affected each year. High blood pressure is involved in 80% of strokes. Cardiac arrhythmia is responsible for one in five strokes.
The good news is that prevention and correction of risk factors are effective (high blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmia, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity and excessive alcohol consumption).
Three simple behaviors are recommended to avoid strokes: practice regular physical activity, adopt a balanced diet low in salt, and follow your treatment carefully.

The medical team is made up of Dr Berthier (head of department), Moraru, Kourouma and Camara, neurologists, as well as Dr Petitjean, rehabilitation doctor and head of the stroke sector.
“It should be remembered that when faced with any sudden neurological sign such as weakness on one side of the body, paralysis of the face or a limb, difficulty speaking… THE right attitude is to note the time and “call 15. The quicker the treatment, the more optimized the recovery,” repeats Laetitia Monrolin, coordinator of the stroke sector. On the occasion of World Stroke Day on October 28, this advice was renewed on the information and screening stand, installed in the shopping mall of the Hyper U in Montmorot. Around a hundred informative bookmarks were distributed and around sixty blood pressures were taken.
