Stroke affects more than 12 million people each year. It is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Unfortunately, this number is only expected to rise because of an ageing global population.2

Acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) occurs when a vessel supplying blood to the brain is obstructed, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. If blood flow is not restored fast enough, damage to brain cells in a particular area can lead to permanent disability and even death3-5. That’s why when it comes to stroke, every minute matters.
