Regular stroke screening is a "shield" that helps you proactively protect your brain and maintain long-term health, especially in the context of increasingly common work pressure, stress, and lack of exercise.
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted by a blockage (ischemic stroke) or a ruptured blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). The brain can only survive for a few minutes without oxygen, so every second counts.
The greatest danger of a stroke is its suddenness.
Many people still go about their daily activities normally, but just a few minutes later they fall into a state of paralysis, coma or death. Strokes are not only found in the elderly but are increasingly occurring in younger people, even from 25-40 years old.
2. Stroke warning signs you should not ignore
Remember the FAST rule:
F (Face): Mouth distortion.
A (Arms): Weakness/numbness in one arm or leg.
S (Speech): Difficulty speaking, lisp.
T (Time): The golden time for treatment is within the first 3–4.5 hours.
In addition, other signs include: severe headache, dizziness, loss of balance, sudden blurred vision, and impaired consciousness.
Don't ignore even the smallest symptom – it could be a warning sign of a real stroke coming.
3. Who should be screened for stroke?
Screening is especially important for people with risk factors:
- High blood pressure
- High blood fat
- Diabetes
- Smoking, drinking a lot of alcohol
- Obesity, lack of exercise
- Prolonged stress
- Sleep apnea
- Family history of stroke
- People over 40 years old or have symptoms of prolonged headache, dizziness, numbness in hands and feet
Stroke is preventable – but only if you know your risk.
4. What does stroke screening include?
An effective screening program requires comprehensive assessment of:
• Brain MRI – early detection of damage
MRI helps detect the smallest brain lesions, blocked microvessels, ischemia or vascular malformations – potential causes of stroke.
• Cerebral angiography (MRA/CTA)
Evaluate for stenosis, aneurysm, or structural abnormalities of blood vessels.
• Carotid artery ultrasound
Detect atherosclerotic plaques and narrowed blood vessels – factors causing cerebral infarction.
• Electrocardiogram, echocardiogram
Screening for arrhythmias and blood clots in the heart – the source of brain embolism.
• General examination
Assessment of blood lipids, blood sugar, liver and kidney function, and inflammation index.
By combining these techniques, doctors can identify risks early and advise on accurate prevention options.
5. What does stroke screening do for you?
- Detect risks even before symptoms appear
- Prevent a stroke before it happens
- Reduces the risk of death and disability by 70–80%
- Personalized treatment, nutrition, and exercise plans
- Protecting brain health – the most important asset of each person
Investing in stroke screening is investing in your future and your family's.
