  • Strokes are the 3rd largest cause of death in the United States
  • Stroke is the leading cause of long term disability among adults in the U.S.
  • Up to 80% of strokes are preventable-you can prevent a stroke
  • 4 out of 5 people that suffer a stroke have no apparent symptoms or warning signs
  • Stroke can happen to anyone at any time, regardless of race, sex or age
  • Approximately 55,000 more women than men have a stroke each year
  • Blacks have almost twice a risk of first-ever stroke compared with whites
  • More than 8 million Americans, suffer from peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
  • Just as a heart attack is caused by a blocker artery in the heart, PAD is the same kind of blockage, but it occurs in the arm, leg or other part of the body
  • PAD is the leading cause of amputation
  • PAD is the leading indicator for a fatal event such as a heart attack or stroke
  • Aneurysms can burst or rupture, causing serious internal bleeding and, it not treated death
