Strokes are disorders that occur suddenly and can have permanent consequences on the patient’s life. Also, they cause the death of several thousand people in the world, each year. If this evil happens suddenly, several signs can precede it. This is what the London clinic says Cadillac Screen. According to the latter, six signs appear a week before a stroke, in 43% of patients.

These signs include: headache, balance disorders, language disorders, alertness disorders, difficulty speaking, visual field disorders, muscle weakness or numbness of one or more limbs.
