IT'S WORLD STROKE DAY
Are you at risk of stroke and don’t even know it?
High blood pressure is the single biggest risk factor for stroke[1], yet nearly 1 in 2 American adults suffers from high blood pressure and 1 in 5 is completely unaware of it.[2]
The good news is that 80% of premature deaths from heart disease and stroke can be avoided through preventative measures[3], some of which include:
Get your AFib under control. Research has shown that people with AFib who take blood thinners can cut down their risk of stroke by 50-60% more than those who don’t.[4]
Get at least 30 minutes of activity each day.[5]
Maintain a healthy weight.[6]
Avoid alcohol and smoking.[7]
Get quality sleep.[8]
Monitor your blood pressure at home regularly.[9]
Don’t let it be a silent threat – regular monitoring at home can save your life by catching warning signs early.
