Stroke with Stephen R. Ramee, MD

Almost 85 percent of strokes occur when the arteries to your brain are narrowed or blocked,
causing severely reduced blood flow (ischemia). Lack of blood flow deprives your brain cells of
oxygen and nutrients, and cells may begin to die within minutes. Prompt treatment is essential
and educating the general public as well as both medical and non-medical caregivers is of
paramount importance. Please join Dr. Ramee as he discusses what you can do to protect yourself or a loved one if and when a stroke occurs. He will also tell you what we need to do to make stroke treatment better in the future.

Heart Palpitations…what does it mean? with Zehra Jaffery, MD

Heart palpitations are the feelings of having rapid, fluttering or pounding heartbeats. Heart
palpitations can be triggered by stress, exercise, medication or, rarely, an underlying medical
condition.

Heart palpitations can be worrisome; however, they are usually harmless, since your heart is
usually still pumping effectively. In rare cases, heart palpitations may be a symptom of a more
serious heart condition, such as an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) that may require treatment.
