Jaypee Hospital has a specialized stroke clinic. To treat heart patients, the Clinic has state-of-the-art technology and an experienced team of neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuro-interventionists, and cardiologists. It offers a carefully curated screening package that includes tests and examinations such as fasting blood sugar, lipid profile, HbA1C, serum homocysteine, ECG, ECHO, and others.
The treatment for an artery blockage that is the cause of a stroke is either angioplasty or, in severe cases, bypass surgery. To restore normal flow, a blood vessel from another part of the body is connected to the blocked artery. Post-treatment cardiac rehabilitation is observed, in which the patient is prescribed a special diet and exercise. Intensive rehabilitation begins almost immediately. Sophisticated equipment, such as robotic rehabilitation, aids in the efficient recovery of limb function. Dr. K.M. Hassan is a renowned neurologist at Jaypee Hospital.
Stroke is treated in the emergency department at Fortis Hiranandani Hospital. Physical examination (speech, eye movements, muscle strength, and coordination, listening to your heart), blood tests, CT scans and MRI (3T MRI), Cerebral angiogram or DSA, Echocardiogram, and other tests may be performed to help confirm the diagnosis and determine the type of stroke. The type of stroke that patients have determines their treatment. The stroke specialists at Fortis Hospital provide the best treatment for various types of strokes.
Treatments for ischemic stroke include Emergency IV medication (IV tPA), Emergency endovascular procedures, Carotid endarterectomy, and Angioplasty and stents. The primary goal of treatment for hemorrhagic strokes (brain bleeding) is to control the bleeding and reduce brain pressure. Blood pressure control, surgery, surgical clipping or endovascular coiling, and AVM removal are all possible treatments. Following treatment, the patient will be closely monitored by a team of world-class rehabilitation specialists and physiotherapists to aid in recovery. Dr. Amit Vatkar and Dr. Neeraj Jain are neuro specialists at Fortis Hiranandani Hospital.

Stroke treatment involves a combination of various interventions to minimize damage to the brain. The treatment approach depends on the type of stroke, whether it is ischemic (caused by a blood clot) or hemorrhagic (caused by bleeding in the brain). Ischemic stroke treatment may involve medications to dissolve or remove the clot, while hemorrhagic stroke treatment focuses on stopping bleeding and relieving pressure on the brain.
Stroke treatment can address a range of medical conditions, including ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), and certain underlying risk factors that contribute to stroke, such as high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, and carotid artery disease. The goal is to prevent further damage to the brain, restore blood flow, and manage risk factors to reduce the likelihood of future strokes.
The recovery process after a stroke depends on the severity of the stroke and individual factors. The recovery process includes rehabilitation programs like physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and other specialized therapies. The focus is on improving motor skills, restoring speech and language abilities, and regaining independence in daily activities. Recovery is gradual and may take months or even years. Doctors may suggest lifestyle modifications and prescribe certain medications to prevent future strokes.
Patients are those who went to sleep healthy and woke up with stroke symptoms, or a stroke occurs during sleep; this is known as a wake-up stroke.
