May is American Stroke Awareness Month.

Stroke is a vascular emergency — and the numbers make the mission clear.
• More than 795,000 people in the U.S. have a stroke each year, and ~87% are ischemic (blocked blood flow).1
• The CDC reports a 2023 stroke death rate of 39.0 per 100,000 (down slightly from 2022). 1,2

Because stroke is so closely tied to blood flow, it’s also strongly linked to vascular risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, and diabetes. 1

This May, we join clinicians, researchers, and patients in advancing awareness during American Stroke Awareness Month.
