While many strokes occur abruptly and without warning, there are instances where symptoms develop gradually. The stroke experts at <a href=\"https:\/\/neuroscience.cooperandinspira.org\/\">Cooper and Inspira Neuroscience<\/a>\u00a0remind us of the importance of knowing\u2014and responding quickly to\u2014the signs and symptoms of stroke.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.cooperhealth.org\/ehealth\/2025\/11\/10\/dont-ignore-the-warning-signs-of-stroke\/#espanol\">Para leer en Espa\u00f1ol, por favor haga clic aqu\u00ed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cStroke is a medical emergency,\u201d says\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/tudor-jovin-md\">Tudor Jovin, MD<\/a>, Medical Director,\u00a0Cooper and Inspira Neuroscience. \u201cNever ignore the warning signs of a stroke. A delay in treatment can have a devastating effect on the chances for recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The signs and symptoms of stroke include sudden onset of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Weakness or paralysis of the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body.<\/li>\n<li>Slurred speech, confusion, trouble speaking, or understanding speech.<\/li>\n<li>Numbness of the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body.<\/li>\n<li>Loss of vision in one or both eyes.<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty walking, dizziness, vertigo, or loss of balance or coordination.<\/li>\n<li>Severe headache, especially if it is the worst headache ever experienced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>According to the CDC, each year, more than 750,000 people in the United States have a stroke. Stroke kills about 150,000 Americans annually, making it the fifth leading cause of death in the country. If you or a loved one shows any of the above signs of stroke, you should call 911 immediately, and note the time the symptoms started. Do not let that person go to sleep, and do not give them medication, food, or drinks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are having a stroke, it\u2019s critical that you get medical attention right away,\u201d says Dr. Jovin. \u201cImmediate treatment may minimize the long-term effects of a stroke and prevent death.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There are two types of stroke:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ischemic stroke occurs when an obstruction within a blood vessel blocks the supply of blood to an area in the brain. This type of stroke accounts for approximately 80 percent of all cases.<\/li>\n<li>Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a weakened blood vessel, or aneurysm, ruptures and blood spills into the brain tissue or the area around the brain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As the leading academic health system in the region, Cooper is uniquely equipped to always handle the most complex strokes. Cooper was the first hospital in South Jersey to earn the Comprehensive Stroke Center certification from The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association\/American Stroke Association.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis certification means that we have undergone rigorous scrutiny and met the highest standards for the full spectrum of stroke care, from the speed with which patients receive acute stroke therapies to the appropriateness of post-discharge care,\u201d explains Dr. Jovin. \u201cCooper has instituted measures to ensure that the highest level of stroke care is available and provided by stroke experts, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No matter the type of stroke, getting proper treatment fast makes a huge difference in outcomes. The medications alteplase (tPA) and Tenecteplase (TNK), known as a thrombolytics, are used to break up blood clots in the brain. If given within three hours of the stroke event (and up to 4.5 hours in certain eligible patients), these medications can improve the chances of recovering from a stroke.<\/p>\n<p>For the most dangerous type of ischemic stroke, one where there is a blockage of a large vessel in the brain, the most effective treatment is a thrombectomy\u2014removal of the obstruction through a minimally invasive surgical procedure. The sooner this procedure is performed, the higher the likelihood of a good patient outcome. For some patients, this treatment can be performed up to 24 hours from the onset of stroke symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRestoring blood flow to the brain, whether it\u2019s by using thrombolytic medication or a surgical intervention, is extremely time sensitive.\u201d says Dr. Jovin, \u201cAt Cooper, we have a very efficient system to evaluate and treat patients quickly.

Si bien muchos accidentes cerebrovasculares ocurren de forma abrupta y sin previo aviso, hay casos en los que los s\u00edntomas se desarrollan gradualmente. Los expertos en accidentes cerebrovasculares de <a href=\"https:\/\/neuroscience.cooperandinspira.org\/\">Cooper and Inspira Neuroscience<\/a> nos recuerdan la importancia de conocer \u2014y responder r\u00e1pidamente a\u2014 los signos y s\u00edntomas de un accidente cerebrovascular.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;El accidente cerebrovascular es una emergencia m\u00e9dica&#8221;, dice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/tudor-jovin-md\">Tudor Jovin, MD<\/a>, director m\u00e9dico de Cooper e Inspira Neuroscience. \u201cNunca ignore las se\u00f1ales de advertencia de un derrame cerebral. Un retraso en el tratamiento puede tener un efecto devastador en las posibilidades de recuperaci\u00f3n\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Los signos y s\u00edntomas del accidente cerebrovascular incluyen la aparici\u00f3n repentina de los siguientes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Debilidad o par\u00e1lisis de la cara, brazo o pierna, especialmente en un lado del cuerpo.<\/li>\n<li>Habla arrastrando las palabras, confusi\u00f3n, dificultad para hablar o comprender el habla.<\/li>\n<li>Entumecimiento de la cara, brazo o pierna, especialmente en un lado del cuerpo.<\/li>\n<li>P\u00e9rdida de visi\u00f3n en uno o ambos ojos.<\/li>\n<li>Dificultad para caminar, mareos, v\u00e9rtigo o p\u00e9rdida del equilibrio o coordinaci\u00f3n.<\/li>\n<li>Dolor de cabeza intenso, especialmente si es el peor dolor de cabeza jam\u00e1s experimentado.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Seg\u00fan los CDC, cada a\u00f1o, m\u00e1s de 750.000 personas en Estados Unidos sufren un derrame cerebral. El accidente cerebrovascular mata a unos 150.000 estadounidenses al a\u00f1o, lo que lo convierte en la quinta causa de muerte en el pa\u00eds. Si usted o un ser querido muestra alguno de los signos de accidente cerebrovascular anteriores, debe llamar al 911 de inmediato y anotar la hora en que comenzaron los s\u00edntomas. No dejes que esa persona se duerma y no le des medicamentos, alimentos o bebidas.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Si sufre un derrame cerebral, es fundamental que reciba atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica de inmediato&#8221;, dice el Dr. Jovin. &#8220;El tratamiento inmediato puede minimizar los efectos a largo plazo de un derrame cerebral y prevenir la muerte&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Hay dos tipos de accidente cerebrovascular:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>El accidente cerebrovascular isqu\u00e9mico ocurre cuando una obstrucci\u00f3n dentro de un vaso sangu\u00edneo bloquea el suministro de sangre a un \u00e1rea del cerebro. Este tipo de accidente cerebrovascular representa aproximadamente el 80 por ciento de todos los casos.<\/li>\n<li>El accidente cerebrovascular hemorr\u00e1gico ocurre cuando un vaso sangu\u00edneo debilitado, o aneurisma, se rompe y la sangre se derrama hacia el tejido cerebral o el \u00e1rea alrededor del cerebro.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Como sistema de salud acad\u00e9mico l\u00edder en la regi\u00f3n, Cooper est\u00e1 excepcionalmente equipado para manejar siempre los accidentes cerebrovasculares m\u00e1s complejos. Cooper fue el primer hospital en el sur de Jersey en obtener la certificaci\u00f3n del Centro Integral de Accidentes Cerebrovasculares de la Comisi\u00f3n Conjunta y la Asociaci\u00f3n Estadounidense del Coraz\u00f3n\/Asociaci\u00f3n Estadounidense de Accidentes Cerebrovasculares.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Esta certificaci\u00f3n significa que nos hemos sometido a un riguroso escrutinio y hemos cumplido con los m\u00e1s altos est\u00e1ndares para todo el espectro de atenci\u00f3n al accidente cerebrovascular, desde la velocidad con la que los pacientes reciben terapias para el accidente cerebrovascular agudo hasta la idoneidad de la atenci\u00f3n posterior al alta&#8221;, explica el Dr. Jovin. &#8220;Cooper ha instituido medidas para garantizar que el m\u00e1s alto nivel de atenci\u00f3n para accidentes cerebrovasculares est\u00e9 disponible y sea proporcionada por expertos en accidentes cerebrovasculares, las 24 horas del d\u00eda, los siete d\u00edas de la semana&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>No importa el tipo de accidente cerebrovascular, recibir el tratamiento adecuado r\u00e1pidamente marca una gran diferencia en los resultados. Los medicamentos alteplasa (tPA) y tenecteplasa (TNK), conocidos como trombol\u00edticos, se utilizan para romper los co\u00e1gulos de sangre en el cerebro. Si se administran dentro de las tres horas posteriores al accidente cerebrovascular (y hasta 4,5 horas en ciertos pacientes elegibles), estos medicamentos pueden mejorar las posibilidades de recuperarse de un accidente cerebrovascular.<\/p>\n<p>Para el tipo m\u00e1s peligroso de accidente cerebrovascular isqu\u00e9mico, aquel en el que hay una obstrucci\u00f3n de un vaso grande en el cerebro, el tratamiento m\u00e1s eficaz es una trombectom\u00eda: eliminaci\u00f3n de la obstrucci\u00f3n mediante un procedimiento quir\u00fargico m\u00ednimamente invasivo. Cuanto antes se realice este procedimiento, mayor ser\u00e1 la probabilidad de un buen resultado para el paciente. Para algunos pacientes, este tratamiento se puede realizar hasta 24 horas despu\u00e9s del inicio de los s\u00edntomas del accidente cerebrovascular.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Restaurar el flujo sangu\u00edneo al cerebro, ya sea mediante el uso de medicamentos trombol\u00edticos o una intervenci\u00f3n quir\u00fargica, es extremadamente urgente&#8221;. dice el Dr. Jovin: \u201cEn Cooper, tenemos un sistema muy eficiente para evaluar y tratar a los pacientes r\u00e1pidamente.
