This is indicator shows the age-adjusted Stroke hospitalization visit rate per 100,000 population.
Why is this important?
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is cut off or when a blood vessel bursts. Within a few minutes of being deprived of oxygen, brain cells begin to die. Death or permanent disability can result. High blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, and having had a previous stroke or heart attack increase a persons's chances of having a stroke.
