                    [Title] => When a ‘brain attack’ strikes
                    [Summary] => A stroke is now known as a "brain attack." It could strike anytime, with little warning; it could greatly impair one’s physical and mental function; and it could happen to anyone.


Consider this scenario. A man, still in his early 40s, experienced his first brain attack, but had another one less than two years later. Before his first stroke, he had never known he had high blood pressure. He smoked a pack of cigarettes a day, drank heavily, and in most days hardly left his office desk.

These deaths are all associated with a condition called atherothrombosis, considered the world’s top killer. in 2001 alone, it is linked to 4.5 million deaths in Asia, and the number is steadily rising.

But what exactly is atherothrombosis?

As a consequence, CVD exerts a huge and growing burden on the country’s limited resources for health services as well as on the patients and their families, many of whom pay medical services out-of-pocket.

Atherothrombosis, a progressive and life-threatening disease affecting the arteries throughout the body, is responsible for the majority of CVD cases.
