Each year, nearly 375,000 women suffer from stroke, and
nearly one-third of women stroke victims will die as a
result. More women suffer stroke annually than men, and a
greater percentage of women stroke victims die compared to
men. Tragically, many strokes are preventable, and all
strokes are treatable when medical attention is sought
immediately. Yet women frequently wait longer than men to
seek medical assistance for a stroke - and suffer the
consequences.
