💨 Abstract

In India, stroke remains a severe health issue, claiming one life every three minutes and contributing to the highest global stroke count at 18 lakh cases annually, with 7 lakh fatalities. Despite an aging population, mortality rates show slight improvements due to better medical care and awareness. Key treatments like endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) and intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) are becoming more accessible, significantly improving patient outcomes.
