Every year, a stroke affects around 140,000 French people, and one in four people will have it during their lifetime. On the occasion of World Stroke Day on October 29, Pr: Charlotte Cordognier, head of the vascular neurology department at Lille University Hospital and vice-president of the French Neurovascular Society (SFNV), explains why it is important to raise awareness among the population and political decision-makers about the effectiveness of preventive measures.
LE FIGARO. – Is stroke too often considered inevitable?
P:r: Charlotte CORDONIER. – Yes, and the terminology probably has nothing to do with it. The term “accident” refers to the idea of something that is difficult to predict, it is bad luck, etc. The Anglo-Saxons use the term “stroke” and it’s much better. Stroke does not occur randomly, it is a complex of several risk factors that are important to know well if we want to improve prevention.
