Cerebrovascular Diseases including Stroke (Cerebral Vessels) are characterized by the death of brain tissue (Cerebral Infarction) which occurred because of reduced blood flow and oxygen to the brain. Reduced blood flow and oxygen can be due to the blockage, narrowing, or rupture of blood vessels.Who Defines the symptoms of stroke is a function of the nervous system deficits caused by cerebrovascular disease and not by others from it.
Stroke is divided into two types:
Ischemic and Stroke Hemorrhagic Stroke.
Ischemic Stroke is a blockage of blood vessels causing blood flow to the brain in part or whole stop. 80% of strokes are ischemic strokes. Ischemic stroke is divided into three types, namely:
1. Thrombotic stroke: thrombus formation process that makes clotting.
2. Embolic stroke: the closing of an artery by a blood clot.
3. Systemic Hipoperfusion: Decreased blood flow to all parts of the body due to a heart disorder.
Hemorrhagic stroke is a stroke caused by rupture of blood vessels of the brain. Nearly 70% of cases of hemorrhagic stroke occurred in patients with hypertension.
There are 2 types of Hemorrhagic Stroke, namely:
1. Intracerebral Hemorrhagic: bleeding that occurs in brain tissue.
2. Subarachnoid hemorrhagic: bleeding that occurs in the subarachnoid space (a narrow space between the brain surface and the layer of tissue covering the brain).
Signs and Symptoms of Stroke
Based on its location in the body, symptoms of stroke is divided into the following:
1. Part of the central nervous system: muscle weakness (hemiplegia), stiffness, decreased function of the sensory
2. Brain stem, where there are 12 cranial nerves: decreased ability to smell, taste, hear, and see a partial or total, decreased reflexes, impaired facial expression, impaired breathing and heart rate, weak tongue.
3. Cerebral cortex: aphasia, apraxia, decreased memory, hemineglect, confusion.
If signs and symptoms disappear within 24 hours, expressed as a transient ischemic attack (TIA), which is a small attack or stroke the initial attack.
Stroke Causes
Medical risk factors, including hypertension (high blood pressure), cholesterol, atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), heart disorders, diabetes, family history of stroke, migraine.
Behavioral risk factors, including smoking (active and passive), unhealthy food (junk food, fast food), Alcohol, Lack of exercise, snoring, oral contraceptives, Drugs, Obesity. 80% of the trigger stroke is hypertension and arteriosclerosis, according to statistics. 93% of people with thrombotic disease have anything to do with high blood pressure.
The trigger is basically a stroke, an uncomfortable mood (angry), drinking too much alcohol, smoking and happy eating fatty foods.
Post-Stroke Pain
Stair Fall has hit Pula, saying that's right for people with Stroke.
After a stroke, brain cells die and form a hematoma which will gradually be reabsorbed. This natural process is completed within 3 months. At that time, 1/3 of the survivors become dependent and may develop complications that can lead to death or disability It is estimated there are 500,000 people affected by stroke. Of this amount:
1/3 -> can be restored
1/3 -> experiencing mild to moderate functional impairment
1/3 the rest -> suffered severe functional impairment that requires ongoing patient on the mattress.
Only 10-15% of stroke survivors can return to normal life as usual, the rest have disabilities, so that many stroke patients suffering from stress caused due to disability after stroke attack.
Stroke due to Other:
80% reduction in partial / total arm and leg movements.
80-90% have trouble thinking and remembering.
70% suffering from depression.
30% had difficulty speaking, swallowing, distinguish right and left.
Stroke is no longer just attacking the elderly, yet now tends to strike young people who are still productive. Stroke is also no longer belong to the affluent city residents, but also experienced by rural residents who live with the all-limitations.
This will impact on the declining levels of productivity and can lead to disruption of socio-economic families. In addition, given the large cost of treating post-stroke, also suffering from stroke is the backbone of the family who usually make less healthy lifestyle, due to the crowded bustle.
Stroke is Preventable Nearly 85% of all strokes are preventable Due to the threat of fatal stroke and suffered from a stroke. STROKE-FREE life without a dream for everyone. No wonder everyone is always working to prevent strokes or reduce risk factors by implementing a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, stress penghindari to take medication or supplements to maintain healthy blood vessels to prevent the occurrence of stroke.
