Assessment of Knowledge Regarding Golden Hour of Stroke Among Individuals Attending Selected OPDs of a Tertiary Care Hospital
Abstract: “Time is brain” highlights the urgency of stroke management, as millions of neurons are lost each minute following an acute ischemic stroke. Globally, stroke is a leading cause of death and disability, with a significant burden in India, where nearly 1.8 million cases occur annually. Early treatment within the “golden hour” is critical to reduce mortality and long-term neurological damage. However, public awareness regarding early recognition and timely intervention remains …

A Systematic Review on Coronary Heart Disease: A Transient Ischemic Stroke
Abstract: Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) are significant cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders that often share similar risk factors and underlying pathophysiological processes. CHD involves the narrowing or obstruction of the coronary arteries due to atherosclerosis, resulting in diminished blood flow to the heart. A transient ischemic attack (TIA), often called a "mini stroke," occurs when blood flow to the brain is briefly disrupted, usually due to a …
