Understanding

What is a Stroke?

A stroke occurs when blood flow to an area of the brain is interrupted or reduced. This deprives brain cells of vital oxygen and nutrients, causing them to begin dying within minutes. A stroke is a critical emergency where rapid medical intervention can mean the difference between recovery and permanent disability.

Dr. Praveen Gupta is a pioneer in hyperacute stroke management in India, offering rapid thrombolytic therapies and mechanical thrombectomy. Beyond emergency care, our clinic specializes in stroke prevention and customized long-term neuro-rehabilitation.

Brain Attack

Requires emergency response

Time Sensitive

"Time is Brain" - act FAST

Preventable

80% of strokes can be prevented

Rehabilitation

Physical & motor recovery helps

Classification

Types of Stroke

Strokes are divided into categories based on whether they involve blood vessel blockage or rupture.

Ischemic Stroke

The most common type (accounts for 87% of strokes). Caused by a blood clot blocking an artery that supplies blood to the brain, cutting off oxygen.

Clot Blockage Thrombolysis

Hemorrhagic Stroke

Occurs when a weakened blood vessel ruptures and leaks blood into the surrounding brain tissue, causing severe local pressure and damage.

Vessel Rupture Bleeding Care

Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)

Known as a "mini-stroke." Blood flow is blocked temporarily (often resolving within minutes). Although symptoms fade quickly, a TIA is a warning sign of an impending major stroke.

Temporary Block Warning Indicator

FAST Stroke Symptoms

If you notice these signs, call emergency services immediately:

F - Face Drooping: One side of the face droops or is numb

A - Arm Weakness: One arm feels weak, numb, or drifts downward

S - Speech Difficulty: Slurred speech or difficulty understanding

T - Time to Call: Time is critical, seek help immediately

Recognition

Stroke Symptoms & Indicators

Understanding additional signs beyond the FAST guidelines can save lives and help healthcare providers target emergency care.

Motor & Balance

Sudden loss of balance
Difficulty walking or dizziness
Numbness on one side
Coordination problems

Sensory & Vision

Double or blurred vision
Sudden severe headache
Confusion or brain fog
Swallowing difficulties

The Golden Hour

Reperfusion therapies like tPA must be administered within a 4.5-hour window from symptom onset to achieve the highest rate of recovery.

Diagnosis

How We Diagnose Stroke

Emergency diagnostics are completed within minutes of arrival to determine if a stroke is ischemic or hemorrhagic, guiding immediate intervention.

Rapid Neuro Exam

Immediate clinical checking of sensory inputs, pupillary reflexes, speech clarity, and motor strengths to assess severity.

Emergency Brain CT

Fast imaging to rule out brain bleeding (hemorrhage) before prescribing blood thinners or clot-busting medications.

Brain MRI & MRA

Detailed imaging scan to trace exact brain tissue damage locations and map arterial blood flow pathways.

Vascular Ultrasound

Carotid duplex ultrasound checks for narrow neck arteries or plaques that could spark subsequent strokes.

Treatment

Comprehensive Stroke Management

From emergency thrombolysis to advanced long-term motor rehabilitation, we offer structured care at every phase of recovery.

Hyperacute Thrombolysis (tPA)

Clot-busting medication within 4.5 hours

Intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) dissolves the blood clot causing an ischemic stroke, restoring vital blood flow.

Emergency clot dissolution
Minimizes permanent brain damage

Mechanical Thrombectomy

Endovascular clot removal for large vessel blockages

Using specialized catheters, the clot is physically extracted from large brain arteries, providing excellent results even up to 24 hours in selected cases.

Advanced catheter-based extraction
High success in large artery blockages

Secondary Prevention

Management of risk factors

Preventing recurrences through medications, anticoagulants, antiplatelets, blood pressure control, and managing diabetes or cholesterol.

Blood pressure and cholesterol management
Blood thinners & antiplatelet drug therapies

Neuro-Rehabilitation

Physical, occupational, & speech therapy

Comprehensive rehabilitation programs to retrain brain pathways, restore motor function, rebuild speech, and return patients to independent living.

Specialized motor skill exercises
Speech therapy and swallowing retraining
