A stroke can change everything in minutes. Speech, movement, memory, and independence can all be affected without warning. What makes the biggest difference is not just treatment, but how quickly and how well that treatment begins. At Lagos Executive Cardiovascular Centre, the Stroke Clinic is designed to provide rapid assessment, expert care, and structured recovery support for patients at every stage.
What is a Stroke?
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, either due to a blockage or bleeding. Without oxygen, brain cells begin to die within minutes.
There are two main types:
- Ischemic stroke: Caused by a blockage in a blood vessel
- Hemorrhagic stroke: Caused by bleeding in the brain
Both require urgent medical attention.
Why a Dedicated Stroke Clinic Matters
Stroke care is time-sensitive and complex. A dedicated clinic ensures that patients receive coordinated care from specialists who understand the urgency and long-term impact of the condition.
At LECC, the Stroke Clinic focuses on:
- Rapid diagnosis and intervention
- Prevention of further brain damage
- Long-term recovery and rehabilitation
- Reducing the risk of future strokes
