”Blood clots causing strokes can strike anyone – at any age, any time. Awareness truly saves lives.

During and after childbirth, dehydration and natural changes in clotting may lead to Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis – a blockage-type stroke caused by blood clots in the brain’s veins.
Certain genetic factors, such as a prothrombin gene mutation, can further raise risk – especially in women who smoke and use birth control pills.
Behind every breakthrough device or treatment is one critical truth: recognizing blood clots and the early signs and symptoms saves lives.

Balance | Eyes | Face | Arms | Speech | Time to call 911
Every second counts. Every person counts.”
