Stroke is the third leading cause of death behind heart disease and cancer, and can cause serious, long-term disability. The risk of having a stroke increases with age. In fact, for people over the age of 55, the incidence of stroke more than doubles in each successive decade.

Thankfully, over the last two decades, medical professionals have identified major risk factors for the disease and have developed surgical techniques and drug treatments for the prevention of stroke.
