Stroke, a leading cause of disability and the second deadliest condition worldwide doesn’t strike equally, a study has found. It also revealed a surprising fact: Stroke rates, survival chances, and long-term effects differ significantly depending on where one lives, ethnicity, and even genes. This research suggests that a one-size-fits-all approach and treatment may not be enough, paving the way for more targeted strategies.
