Video Description

Strokes often occur when fatty plaque builds up in the #CarotidArteries of your neck, narrowing them and restricting blood flow to the brain. This can sometimes create a whooshing sound, known as a #CarotidBruit, which doctors can detect with a stethoscope. To help prevent it: • Manage #BloodPressure & #Cholesterol • #Exercise regularly • Eat a #HeartHealthy #Diet • #QuitSmoking • Follow your #Doctor’s advice on medication & treatments #Atherosclerosis #PreventStroke #HealthyLifestyle
