Padma Shri Awardee, Dr K K Aggarwal, President, HCFI and Vice President CMAAO says that stroke or a Cerebro Vascular Accident (CVA) results from a sudden blood loss to the brain or bleeding within the brain resulting in the impairment of neurological function. Obesity, smoking, hypertension, alcohol consumption, diabetes and family history can be some of the factors leading to a stroke which have to be managed thoroughly. Irrespective of their age, stroke can hit anyone.
