Senior Focus: Brain Attacks - All About Strokes

This quality health show is a special presentation of Senior Focus, a television magazine show that provides information on how people over sixty can continue to enjoy life after they retire. Brain Attacks - All About Strokes provides information about the leading cause of disability in older Americans. This segment features informative and personal accounts from stroke patients and professionals addressing warning signs, risk factors, and medical advances. Each personal story reveals the slow progression of symptoms that usually go untreated until the "Brain Attack" occurs. Stressing that warning signs are often not dramatic and may occur months in advance, this production urges people of all ages to pay attention and seek medical attention if any of these symptoms occur. Explaining that recovery is both possible and a progressive process, professionals describe the resources available to today's stroke patients and their caregivers.
