Stroke Risk Screening

In fact, the signs of stroke are traceable through risk screening, in which we can identify the health status of the cerebral vessels, intervention can be taken to lower the risk of strokes.
It is advised to conduct a regular brain check up, and the frequency depends on your age group as follow:
