What is Brain Dock?
Stroke, whether ischemic or hemorrhagic, is affecting the younger population (middle age) with increasing frequency. It is now the third cause of death and major disability in developed countries. There is also a major association between stroke and coronary artery disease, the second cause of death. Yet, traditional health assessment never includes the brain. Many risk factors lead to stroke. Some are inherited and impossible to change, e.g. race, gender and family history. But risk factors can be identified and corrected. Recent research strongly advocates the preventive approach in reducing the incidence of stroke and its devastating consequences.
