Screening for the Prevention of Stroke Risk
Thu, 30 Oct 2025Hello PRAMITA Friends!
Did you know that stroke is one of the most dangerous diseases that can cause death or permanent disability? That’s why it’s so important for us to recognize and prevent stroke risks as early as possible through regular health screenings.
Why Is Stroke Screening Important?
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted—either by a blockage (ischemic stroke) or by a ruptured blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). Many risk factors often go unnoticed, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, uncontrolled blood sugar, and an unhealthy lifestyle.
By undergoing regular health screenings, you can identify potential risks early and take steps to prevent stroke before it happens.
Screening Tests for Early Stroke Detection
At PRAMITA Main Clinic and Medical Laboratory, various tests are available to detect stroke risk factors, including:
-
Complete Blood Test – to assess your overall health.
-
Blood Sugar Test – to detect diabetes, a major cause of stroke.
-
Lipid Profile – to check cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
-
Kidney Function Test – as kidney issues can increase stroke risk.
-
ECG and Echocardiography (Echo) – to identify irregular heart rhythms or heart function problems.
-
CT Scan or Brain MRI – if necessary, to view brain and blood vessel conditions in more detail.
All of these examinations can be done safely and conveniently at any PRAMITA branch, supported by professional medical staff and modern diagnostic equipment.
Simple Lifestyle Tips to Prevent Stroke
In addition to regular screenings, you can reduce your risk of stroke by making these lifestyle changes:
-
Limit alcohol consumption.
-
Quit smoking.
-
Maintain good sleep and manage stress effectively.
-
Reduce fatty and salty foods.
-
Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
-
Get regular medical check-ups, either annually or as recommended by your doctor.
