Time is BRAIN
Stroke is the leading cause of death in the United States and research has shown that there is a global deficit in the knowledge of the stroke warning signs (O'Connell & Hartigan, 2011).
Research shows that 15% of stroke patients have Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and a third of the stroke patients are diagnosed with AF after their stroke (Moukabary & Naccarelli, 2011).
