Stroke: How to prevent it? Prevention and examination can save your life
Stroke: A scarecrow that can be defeated through prevention
Did you know that in the Czech Republic, more than 65,000 people are affected by stroke every year and many cases end in death? However, early diagnosis, appropriate treatment and lifestyle changes can significantly improve the prognosis. The best weapon against stroke is PREVENTION.
Risk factors such as high blood pressure, heart rhythm disorders, diabetes and fat metabolism disorders can be present for a long time without us knowing about them. Of course, smoking is also a risk factor. Therefore, it is important not to neglect regular preventive examinations that help detect and address these silent killers in a timely manner.

Unfortunately, a stroke often occurs completely unexpectedly. It is important to recognize it early and act immediately. The most common symptoms include:
- sudden weakness or loss of sensation in the face, arm or leg (often on one side),
- confusion, difficulty speaking or understanding,
- trouble walking, dizziness or loss of balance,
- sudden vision problems,
