What causes a stroke?
A stroke is a serious medical condition that occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, leading to the death of brain cells. It can happen due to a blockage in a blood vessel (ischemic stroke) or the rupture of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). Strokes often result in sudden and severe symptoms, such as difficulty speaking or understanding speech, paralysis or weakness on one side of the body, and loss of coordination. Prompt medical attention is crucial during a stroke because early intervention can help minimize brain damage and improve the chances of recovery.
Among the modifiable factors that can lead to a stroke, high blood pressure is considered the leading risk factor.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO)**, hypertension is the number one reason for cardiovascular disease mortality globally and in the South-East Asia Region. "Hypertension is often called a 'silent killer' as many people are unaware of it" says Dr Poonam Khetrapal Singh, Regional Director, WHO South-East Asia Region, adding that "the only way to know is to get your blood pressure checked regularly."
