Stroke is an acute cerebrovascular disease, usually caused by a sudden rupture or blockage of blood vessels in the brain leading to an interruption of blood supply to brain tissue damage. Here are some important information about stroke: 1. Stroke type: Ischemic stroke: Blood flow to the brain is prevented due to a blockage of blood vessels, accounting for about 80% of stroke. Hemorrhagic stroke: 2. Risk factors: hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and other cardiovascular diseases. Smoking, drinking, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise and other lifestyle factors. Heart disease, atrial fibrillation and other heart diseases. Carotid stenosis and other vascular diseases. Age, gender, genetic factors. 3. Symptoms: Sudden weakness or numbness in the face, arms, or legs. Sudden difficulty speaking or understanding. Sudden dizziness, loss of balance, or coordination. Sudden severe headache. Eye symptoms such as blurred vision or blindness. 4. Diagnosis: by symptoms, neurological examination, and imaging examination.(such as CT, MRI, etc.) to confirm stroke. 5. Treatment: Time is the key, seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Ischemic stroke can be treated by thrombolytic therapy, interventional therapy or drug therapy to restore vascular patency. Hemorrhagic stroke needs to control blood pressure, reduce cerebral edema and other treatments. Rehabilitation treatment can help patients restore function.6. Prevention: Control risk factors, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, etc. Healthy lifestyle, including smoking cessation, alcohol restriction, healthy diet, moderate exercise, etc. Regular physical examination, timely detection and treatment of vascular diseases. Pay attention to early warning symptoms of stroke, and seek medical attention once it occurs. Stroke is a serious disease, but through early diagnosis and treatment, disability and mortality can be reduced.
