A practical guide to warning signs, emergency action, hospital care, treatment options and recovery.
This short checklist helps patients and caregivers record what happened and prepares for a conversation with a healthcare professional. It does not diagnose stroke or calculate risk.
How to use it: There is no score, and a “No” result does not rule out stroke. For past symptoms or concerns about stroke risk, download or print the completed checklist and discuss it with a qualified healthcare professional. Never use the checklist to delay emergency care.
