Hi to all of my PEI Stroke Recovery readers,
Have you had a TIA? (Transient Ischemic Attack)
You don't know or you are just not sure what a TIA is. Well a TIA is commonly referred to a mini stroke. Canadian Statistics tell us that some 50,000 people experience a stroke in Canada every single year. However, new information released in 2010 indicates that that number may very well represent one tenth of the actual number of Canadians that suffer stroke each year. Why?
According to this new information 450,000 Canadians suffer a stroke but they may never know that it happened.
These events are not to be laughed off as being something minor. They more often are a warning that something is wrong and having such an event could mean that if ignored something more serious like a stroke may well happen in the future.
On Prince Edward Island we now have our Secondary Stroke Prevention Clinic open at the Prince County Hospital. We are seeing more Islanders being helped to recognize that they may very well have suffered a TIA, are at risk of a secondary stroke and are in need of secondary stroke education and support. This unit has been set up as a pilot to work out the kinks before the service is rolled out across the Island in 2012.
You don't have to attend the clinic to learn more about what a TIA is, if you are at risk and what to do if you or someone near you begins showing the signs of having one.
Click here to read the Canadian Heart and Stroke brochure " You've Had A TIA" right here online.
This is important information that could save your live or the life of someone you love.
Whether you have in fact had a TIA or you may be at risk of having one I encourage you to invest a few minutes of your time to read this brochure. Those few minutes that you take RIGHT NOW could be the best investment that you could ever make. Especially if YOU are one of the 500,000 Canadians that will suffer a stroke or a TIA in Canada this year.
Watch this video to learn more:
If you are reading this post and live in a country outside Canada, you can apply like figures to that country. For Example in the United States the numbers would look something like this.
Population: 300,000,000
Strokes: 500,000
unreported TIA's 4,500,000
Total strokes and TIA's 5,000,000
I will post again soon,
Gary
