Warning signs of stroke , Know quickly , Treat quickly


  Cerebral vascular abnormalities are divided into 2 main groups.

-One group, approximately 80-90%, is a condition in which there is no blood flow to the brain, which may be caused by clogged arteries or arterial stenosis.

-The second group, about 15-20%, will have a brain hemorrhage. The disease that causes this is from the tearing of small blood vessels that many people call torn capillaries, and about 5% will be characterized by an aneurysm swells and then ruptures. This death rate is quite high.

Risk factors that cause stroke

1. Age: Normally, blood vessels deteriorate with increasing age. The inner surface of the blood vessels becomes thick and hard from the plaque and fat that cling to it. This causes the channels through which blood flows to narrow.

2. Diabetes: It causes blood vessels to harden throughout the body. and when the blood vessels in the brain become hard will have a 2-3 times higher chance of having a stroke than normal people

3.High blood fat: causes fat to accumulate on the arterial walls. It is an obstacle to the transport of blood to various parts of the body. In addition to the risk of stroke, It can also result in coronary heart disease.




4. Heart disease: Leaky or abnormal heart valve disease and irregular heartbeat. All of these diseases are the cause of blood clots, and if blood clots flow into the brain blood vessels, It will cause a lack of blood flow to the brain.

5. Cigarettes: Cigarettes contain nicotine and carbon. It causes the amount of oxygen the body receives to decrease and also destroys blood vessel walls. Resulting in hardening of the blood vessels.
