NEURÓLOGO: '9 de cada 10 ICTUS son evitables y nadie te lo cuenta | Dr. Fuerte

One in four people will suffer a stroke in their lifetime. And according to the evidence, nine out of ten could be prevented. During the time this episode lasts, between six and eight people will have died from a stroke in Spain. It is the second leading cause of death and the leading cause of acquired disability in adults in our country. And the most shocking thing: it is increasingly affecting younger people. Today on Better Than Yesterday, I welcome Dr. Alejandro Fuerte, a neurologist specializing in cerebrovascular disease, to talk about something that almost no one addresses on social media: the REAL prevention of stroke when you are still healthy. In this conversation, we discuss the risk factors your primary care physician has never mentioned (carotid artery microplastics, poor oral health, sleep apnea, arterial dissection due to cervical hyperextension, anabolic steroids), the imaging tests you could have to determine your stroke risk, which diet and type of exercise have shown the greatest protection, and what NOT to do if you suspect a family member is having a stroke. This episode is, quite literally, brain life insurance. 🧠 CHAPTERS 🩺 ABOUT DR. ALEJANDRO FUERTE Specialist in Neurology. Extensive clinical experience in the management of cerebrovascular disease.
