Every year in France, nearly 150,000 people suffer a stroke, 40,000 of whom die. Dr. Anne-Laure Laprérie, a cardiologist at the Thorax Institute at Nantes University Hospital, emphasizes the need to have a healthy lifestyle to prevent these strokes. For her colleague, Dr. Anne Léger, a neurologist at the cerebrovascular unit at Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital (Paris), several signals can alert the patient and those around them. The speed of the call and the time it takes for emergency services to arrive are crucial to limiting the after-effects. The report produced with Isabelle Florentin, who suffered a stroke in 2000, attests to this.
