Power to end stroke
Introduction
Order Group Community Health Promotion
A stroke is an interruption of the blood supply to any part of the brain. It is sometimes called a “brain attack”. A stroke happens when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted because a blood vessel in the brain is blocked or bursts open. If blood flow is stopped for longer than a few seconds, the brain cannot get blood and oxygen. Brain cells can die, causing permanent damage. There are two major types of stroke: ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel that supplies blood to the brain is blocked by a blood clot. Hemorrhagic strokes, on the other hand, occurs when a blood vessel in part of the brain becomes weak and bursts open, causing blood to leak into the brain (Hoch, 2010).
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States. People of all ages and backgrounds can have a stroke. In 2006, 137,000 people in the United States died of stroke, accounting for nearly 1 in every 17 deaths. Only heart disease and cancer killed more people. Someone in the United States has a stroke every 40 seconds. Every three or four minutes, someone dies of stroke. It is the third leading cause of death for both men and women. In 2006, out of every 10 deaths due to stroke were in women. Every year, about 795,000 people in the United States have a stroke. About 610,000 of these are first or new strokes. About 185,000 people who survive a stroke go on to have another. Ischemic strokes, which occur when blood clots block the blood vessels to the brain, are the most common type of stroke, representing about 85% of all strokes. In 2009, stroke cost the United States $68.9 billion. This total includes the cost of health care services, medications, and missed days of work. Stroke is a leading cause of serious long-term disability (CDC, 2010).
Stroke is among the five leading causes of death for people of all races and ethnicities. But the risk of having a stroke varies. Compared to whites, African Americans are at nearly twice the risk of having a first stroke. Hispanic Americans’ risk falls between the two. Moreover, African Americans and Hispanics are more likely to die following a stroke than are whites (Lloyd-Jones, et al., 2009).
Although stroke can happen to anyone, certain risk factors can increase chances of a stroke. However, studies show that up to 80% of strokes can be prevented by working with a healthcare professional to reduce personal risk. It is important to manage personal risk and know how to recognize and respond to stroke signs and symptoms (National Stroke Association, 2011). With this in mind, the goals of the Power to End Stroke campaign are: (1) to create a “movement” around the serious health disparity issue of a stroke in African Americans and to drive the message that stroke is largely preventable; (2) to increase awareness of high blood pressure and diabetes as risk factors; and (3) to promote adherence to primary and secondary prevention guidelines.
