The “silent” part of a silent stroke also refers to the areas
of the brain that the stroke affects. Experts at Harvard Medi-
cal School explain that, during a silent stroke, an interruption
in blood flow destroys areas of cells in a part of the brain
that is “silent,” meaning that it doesn’t control any vital func-
tions. Researchers say that, over time, the damage from silent
strokes can accumulate, leading to more and more problems
with memory. Collectively, silent strokes become silent no
longer.

There are certain ways to reduce the risk of any type of
stroke. These include:

• managing high blood pressure and high cholesterol lev-
els

• quitting smoking
• reducing the risk of diabetes and effectively treat the
condition if it is present
• losing weight to prevent obesity
• exercising and avoid a sedentary lifestyle
• taking a low-dose aspirin or a drug that prevents blood
clots.
Silent strokes largely go unrecognized but can lead to
significant brain injury. Getting the facts can help men and
women reduce their risk for silent stroke.
