Act FAST to Recognize Stroke Symptoms

Akash P. Kansagra, MD, assistant professor of radiology and neurological surgery, was interviewed by FOX2 regarding stroke symptom recognition.

Spotting a stroke is made easier with FAST: face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty and time to call 911. Surgery to remove a clot is done within 7.3 hours, so response time is critical.
