FAST is the new acronym to help people recognize strokes. In a recent study, FAST identified 88.9% of transient ischemic attack (TIA) stroke cases. Quick medical treatment for a stroke reduces the extent of brain damage.
The Washington Post offers a comparison between methods of stroke intervention. Directly working at the site of the stroke is not any better than adding a body wide clot dissolving compound. Doctors are refining work at the site of the stroke and hope to improve the outcome.
