“Costs associated with ischemic stroke in Hispanic Americans are expected to top $334 billion between now and 2050, researchers warn.

Those costs include hospitalization, ongoing care and lost wages. In 2005, it’s estimated that it will cost $3.1 billion to treat ischemic stroke in Hispanics. Ischemic stroke is caused by a blockage in an artery that supplies blood to the brain.”
