Diagnosis |
To reduce the chance of dying from a heart attack, it is important to find the heart disease early and start treatment. Many studies have found that women are less likely to be tested for heart disease than men.
If you experience the signs and symptoms of a stroke, call 9-1-1 immediately. Diagnosing and treating a stroke as early as possible is crucial. It is important to call even if your symptoms have disappeared. A stroke should be diagnosed and treated within the first three hours.
To identify risk factors for a stroke or to diagnose a stroke, your doctor will conduct a number of tests. |
