    Stroke

    Understanding Stroke

    A stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, depriving brain cells of oxygen. This can cause sudden paralysis, speech problems, or even life-threatening complications.
    At Moolchand Hospital, one of Delhi’s top hospitals for stroke care, our neurologists and emergency teams provide rapid, evidence-based treatment to save lives and restore function.

    Types of Stroke

    1. Ischemic Stroke – Caused by a blood clot blocking a brain artery (most common).

    2. Hemorrhagic Stroke – Caused by bleeding from a ruptured vessel in the brain.

    3. Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) – Also known as a “mini-stroke,” a temporary blockage that signals risk of a major stroke ahead.

    Early Symptoms – BE FAST Warning Signs

    Use the BE FAST acronym to recognize stroke and act quickly:
    BBalance: Sudden dizziness or loss of coordination
    EEyes: Blurred or double vision
    FFace: Drooping on one side
    AArms: Weakness or numbness
    SSpeech: Slurred or confused speech
    TTime: Call emergency help immediately

    Every second counts — early treatment greatly improves recovery.

    Major Causes & Risk Factors

    • High blood pressure (hypertension)

    • Diabetes and high cholesterol

    • Smoking and excess alcohol

    • Heart disease or irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation)

    • Sedentary lifestyle and obesity

    • Family history or previous stroke

    Diagnosis at Moolchand

    Our stroke specialists use advanced tools for rapid diagnosis:

    • CT / MRI Brain – to identify clot or bleeding

    • Carotid Doppler & Echocardiography – to locate the source of blockage

    • Blood Tests – to check sugar, cholesterol, and clotting function

    Treatment Options

    • Clot-busting therapy (Thrombolysis): IV tPA within 4.5 hours of symptom onset.

    • Mechanical Thrombectomy: Catheter-based removal of clot for large-vessel blockage.

    • Hemorrhagic Stroke Management: Surgical or minimally invasive bleeding control.

    • Rehabilitation: Physiotherapy, speech therapy, and occupational support to regain independence.

    Our 24×7 stroke team ensures rapid triage and treatment at the Moolchand Emergency & Neuro Centre.

    Prevention & Long-Term Care

    • Keep blood pressure, sugar, and cholesterol under control.

    • Exercise regularly and maintain healthy weight.

    • Quit smoking and moderate alcohol.

    • Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

    Unforgettable experience at Moolchand!

    I was admitted at Moolchand for my recurrent chest pain. It is commendable that right from the admission process to the cardiac investigations, everything was seamless and superb. I did not face any issue or delay during my treatment and hospital-stay. I found Dr. Pathak as a great cardiologist, not only in terms of his skill and intelligence but also for his kindness, sincere care and concern. This is for sure, an unforgettable experience for me and my family.
