Le thème de ce mois vise à rappeler aux Canadiens les signes avant-coureurs des AVC : faiblesse soudaine, difficulté d’élocution, perte soudaine de la vue, mal de tête ou étourdissement soudain, intense et inhabituel. Vous pouvez diminuer le risque d’AVC si vous faites ce qu'il faut pour réduire les facteurs de risque tels que l'hypertension, le tabagisme, l'obésité, l'inactivité physique, l'hypercholestérolémie et le diabète. 2, record 6, French, - Mois%20de%20sensibilisation%20aux%20accidents%20vasculaires%20c%C3%A9r%C3%A9braux
