Stroke is the third largest cause of death in Malaysia. Only heart diseases
and cancer kill more. It is considered to be the single most common cause of
severe disability, and every year, an estimated 40,000 people in Malaysia
suffer from stroke. Anyone can have a stroke, including children, but the
vast majority of the cases affect adults.

yes, the vast majority of the cases affect adults.

A stroke is a brain attack and occurs when the blood supply to the brain is
disrupted. The brain is the nerve center of the body, controlling every
thing we do or think, as well as controlling automatic functions like
breathing.

In order to work, the brain needs a constant blood supply which carries
vital oxygen and nutrients. When a blood vessel in your brain bursts or gets
clogged, the blood supply stops and the brain cells are deprived of oxygen
and nutrients. That part of the brain starts to die. You have a stroke. Very
quickly. Very silently.

Brain damage affects your senses, your speech and understanding of language.
One side of your body may be paralyzed, your behavior, thought and memory
patterns are altered.
