That's not true today. N ow stroke doesn 't have to lead to disability or death... ...IF you recognize a stroke and get to the hospital im m ediately. The clot-dissolving drug tPA can reduce disability if it's given within three hours after an ischemic stroke starts. (Ischem ic strokes are caused by clots and are by far the m ost com m on type of stroke.) Unfortunately, tPA isn't used as often as it could be because m any people do n 't seek care quickly. D o n 't m ake that m istake. If you or som eone near you has any w arning signs of a stroke, call 9 -1 -1 im m ediately! Call 9-1-1 at the first sign of stroke. TIME LOST IS BRAIN LOST. Your area responders are trained to get you the best and fastest care possible. Calling 9 -1 -1 connects you to a stroke team that can get the treatm ent you need. It’s a no-brainer!
