Following his admittance to Apollo Multispeciality Hospitals in Kolkata, it was confirmed Mithun Chakraborty had suffered an Ischemic Cerebrovascular Accident aka Stroke.
In the wake of this incident, medical experts are once again underscoring the vital need for awareness and education on stroke prevention and early detection.
The official statement from the hospital read, “Mithun Chakraborty is recuperating well, is fully conscious, well-oriented, active, and has consumed a soft diet.”
Factors such as the build-up of fats, cholesterol, and other substances on the artery walls, blood clots and heart valve disease are the primary cause for it.
Ischemic strokes pose a life-threatening risk and are a major cause of disability. Severity and outcomes vary based on the stroke’s location and extent.
Doctors emphasise reaching the hospital at the onset of initial symptoms, such as sudden numbness or weakness on one side of the body, confusion, difficulty speaking and more.
