Stroke deaths down but aging population threatens gains
Canada sees fewer stroke deaths over the past decade due to better diagnosis and treatment but warns aging nationwide could erode progress. The Heart and Stroke Foundation 2015 report notes more stroke centres and clot busting drugs, yet patients present with multiple illnesses complicating care. Regional disparities persist with higher survival in Quebec and Alberta, while Atlantic Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador face higher mortality. Strokes among people in their 50s rose 24 percent and 60s by 13 percent. about 50,000 strokes occur yearly and 315,000 Canadians live with stroke effects.
