Stroke & Brain Attack Care (Acute + Prevention)

A stroke (also called a brain attack) happens when the blood supply to a part of the brain is suddenly blocked or a blood vessel bursts. Brain cells start getting damaged within minutes. Fast treatment can save brain tissue, reduce disability, and in many cases, save life. At Vishwalata NeuroConnect, we offer comprehensive stroke services – from emergency thrombolysis and advanced imaging to long-term prevention and rehabilitation.
Early recognition and reaching a stroke-ready hospital within the golden window (up to 4.5 hours for IV thrombolysis in eligible patients) can make the difference between independent living and lifelong disability. That’s why we focus on both acute stroke treatment and aggressive risk-factor control (blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, heart disease, smoking, etc.) to prevent future events.

What Causes Stroke

Most strokes are either:
  • Ischemic stroke due to blockage of a brain artery by a clot (thrombus/embolus)
  • Hemorrhagic stroke due to rupture of a brain blood vessel causing bleeding in or around the brain
Common risk factors include hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, heart disease (like atrial fibrillation), previous stroke or TIA, obesity, and sedentary lifestyle

How We Treat It

Most strokes are either:

Acute Phase (Emergency)

  • Rapid neurological assessment and stroke scale scoring
  • Urgent CT / MRI brain to differentiate ischemic vs hemorrhagic stroke
  • IV thrombolysis in selected ischemic strokes within the recommended time window (and extended therapies where appropriate as per guidelines)
  • Blood pressure, sugar and temperature control
  • Management of brain swelling, seizures, and complications

Subacute & Prevention Phase

  • Identifying stroke mechanism (large artery disease, cardioembolic, small vessel disease, other rare causes)
  • Antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy based on cause
  • Statins and vascular risk-factor optimization
  • Physiotherapy, speech and swallow therapy, cognitive and occupational rehab
  • Long-term follow up to prevent recurrence

Conditions We Treat Under Stroke & Brain Attack Care

Acute ischemic stroke (clot related stroke)

Cervical artery dissection and other rare vascular causes

Brain hemorrhage / intracerebral hemorrhage

Stroke related to heart disease (cardioembolic stroke)

Post-stroke epilepsy, spasticity, gait and balance problems

Young stroke / stroke in the young

Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA / “mini stroke”)

Stroke in pregnancy or postpartum period

Stroke Red Flags – When to Consult Immediately

Seek emergency neurological care or call an ambulance immediately if you notice:
  • Sudden weakness or numbness of face, arm or leg (especially on one side)
  • Sudden deviation of face or difficulty smiling
  • Sudden difficulty speaking, slurred speech, or not understanding simple sentences
  • Sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes, or double vision
  • Sudden severe imbalance, dizziness, or difficulty walking
  • Sudden severe headache, especially if “worst ever” or associated with vomiting, loss of consciousness or seizures

Remember the simple rule B-E-F-A-S-T (Balance, Eyes, Face, Arm, Speech, Time)

If any sign is positive – Time = Brain. Reach Vishwalata NeuroConnect or the nearest stroke-ready hospital urgently.
