Strokes caused by blood supply to the brain is impaired . When blood flow to the brain is blocked , the nerve cells do not get oxygen and nutrients . As a result , the function of brain cells will be damaged permanently .
" The longer the stroke left untreated , the more damage to the brain . Brain will be broken within 5 minutes after the stroke . Having said that , the longer the patient was taken to the hospital , the worse the consequences , " said neurologist Franky Susatia in a media event education held by SOHO Global Health in Jakarta , Tuesday ( 20/05/2014 ) .
Therefore, it is important to recognize the symptoms of a stroke . For simplicity , we can remember three things when a stroke occurs , ie, through a smile , talk , and hands .
