Project Description
Ischemic strokes account for 87% of all strokes, and are often preventable by minimizing risk factors, such as developing high cholesterol. It is important for patients and lay individuals to understand how the gradual build up of fat and cholesterol can lead to atherosclerotic ischemic stroke in order to encourage prevention. In the case of developing a stroke, knowing the symptoms is crucial to receiving care in time, and reversing severe damage. Educational resources related to stroke are often over simplified or overly complex. My primary goal with this sequential poster is to present the key stages of ischemic stroke progression and the resulting stroke symptoms in a concise manner that provides enough context to understand the disease at different levels.
