Stroke, those minutes that can save lives

It manifests itself suddenly, with various symptoms, often insidious. The inability to hold a glass, the rhyme of the deviated mouth, the players on television less clear, the ‘mixed’ words that make up meaningless sentences. In Italy, stroke is the second cause of death after cardiovascular disease, the first of disability: 200,000 people affected every year, including new cases and relapses, one every three minutes.
