High blood pressure doesn’t just impact your heart. It’s one of the leading risk factors for stroke. Dr. Adcock breaks down why managing your blood pressure is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your brain and reduce your risk of stroke. At the WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute, we are not only focused on treating stroke. We are working to prevent it through advanced diagnostics, continuous monitoring, and a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to care. That means identifying risk earlier, acting faster, and helping patients stay healthier longer. Stroke can happen without warning. But the risk factors often do not. Know your numbers. Take control of your health. And if something doesn’t feel right, seek care immediately. #StrokeAwarenessMonth #StrokePrevention #BrainHealth #WVUmedicine #RNI
