A Sea Change in Treating Heart Attacks

I wonder what this would be for stroke. I know stroke dropped from 3rd leading cause of death to 5th but I bet no one has analyzed the disability leftover from strokes. We may be saving lives from stroke but I bet we have barely moved the disability interventions. So go ask your hospital how good they are in preventing disability from stroke.

The death rate from coronary heart disease has dropped
38 percent in a decade. One reason is that hospitals
rich and poor have streamlined emergency treatment.
