    World Stroke Day 2023 aims to raise awareness of stroke symptoms and the importance of the "golden hour" for treatment. The acronym BEFAST is used to help remember common stroke symptoms: balance issues, eyesight changes, facial drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulties, and time to call for help. Getting clinical attention such as a clot-busting drug (tPA) or surgery to remove a clot (thrombectomy) within the first 4.5 hours of a stroke is critical, as time lost is brain lost. Preventive measures and controlling risk factors can help reduce the risk of stroke.
