Essentials on Stroke

World Stroke Day 2022



Stroke has already reached epidemic proportions. Globally 1 in 4 adults over the age of 25 will have a stroke in their lifetime. 12.2 million people worldwide will have their first stroke this year and 6.5 million will die as a result. Over 110 million people in the world have experienced stroke.

The incidence of stroke increases significantly with age, however over 60% of strokes happen to people under the age of 70 and 16% happen to those under the age of 50.

The ESC Council on Stroke supports World Stroke Day on 29 October and is pleased to recommend a selection of resources on stroke management.
