A stroke occurs when blood flow to part of your brain is blocked or a vessel ruptures, leading to paralysis, speech difficulties or life-threatening complications. At Dr. Pramod Narkhede – Heart Clinic, prevention hinges on controlling hypertension, managing diabetes and treating rhythm abnormalities such as atrial fibrillation. Lifestyle changes—smoking cessation, moderated alcohol use and regular exercise—also play a vital role.
For survivors, a multidisciplinary rehab program—physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy—helps regain function. Medications like anticoagulants or antiplatelets prevent recurrence, and cardiac evaluation identifies underlying causes such as LAA clot formation.
