What is Stroke?

It is one of the most important causes of death in Korea, and can leave severe aftereffects.
Stroke is similar to heart attack as it fights time.
Thus, the most important thing in stroke (cerebral infraction) treatment is “how fast the treatment is started after the outbreak of disease.”

The symptoms of stroke occur suddenly, and common symptoms are as below.


One arm or leg gets numb, or has a strange sense.	The pronunciation is not clear when a patient speaks, or he/she cannot speak well.	A patient keeps falling to one side when he/she tries to stand or walk.	The surrounding is dizzy as if it is turning round and round.

Suddenly, one cannot see or an object is seen in two.	A patient suddenly feels a severe headache like a lightning strike.	A patient cannot wake up even if he/she is waken up due to consciousness disorder.
